Answer 2

Answer : The fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys,
`(1)/(7)`

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Fraction of animals at a zoo are monkeys =
`(1)/(5)`

Fraction of monkeys are male =
`(5)/(7)`

So,

Fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys = Fraction of animals at a zoo are monkeys × Fraction of monkeys are male

Fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys =
`(1)/(5)* (5)/(7)`

Fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys =
`(1)/(7)`

Thus, the fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys,
`(1)/(7)`
