Answer:

21/50

Explanation:

Fraction that voted for team A = 7/10

Fraction of those that wear red cap = 3/5 of fraction of team A

Fraction of those that wear red cap = 3/5 of 7/10

Fraction of those that wear red cap = 3/5*7/10

Fraction of those that wear red cap = 21/50

Hence the fraction of people that wear red cap is 21/50
