3
10
of his friends mow in the morning and afternoon. What fraction of those who mow lawns in the morning also mow in the afternoon?

Answer 1

The fraction of those who mow lawns in the morning also mow in the afternoon are:

`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

It is given that:

1 /2

of Kyle's friends mow lawns on Saturday morning.

and

3 /10

of his friends mow in the morning and afternoon.

Now we are asked to find the fraction of those who mow lawns in the morning also mow in the afternoon i.e.

we are asked to find the ratio of those who mows lawn in morning and afternoon to those who mow in the morning.

i.e.

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

Hence, the fraction is:

`(3)/(5)`

Answer 2

since ½ of kyle friends mow lawns on Saturday morning and 3/10 of his friends mow in the morning and afternoon. The fraction of those of those who mow lawns in the morning also mow in the afternoon can be solve by dividing 3/10 by ½. So the answer is 3/5
