To solve this problem you must keep on mind the following information:

The problem says that Homeroom 101 can use a half of display artwork (which is
(1)/(2)) and they use
(3)/(5). Therefore, you only need to multiply both fractions, as following:


((1)/(2) )((3)/(5) )=(3)/(10)

Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:
(3)/(10) of the bulletin board is used to display Homeroom 101’s artwork.
