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)
