Answer 1

1/12 * 3/10 would equal 3/120

So if you simplify 3/120 then it would become 1/40

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

To find a fraction of a fraction, you just need to multiply the fractions. To do that, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:


`(1)/(12)*(3)/(10)=(1*3)/(12*10)=(3)/(120)=(1)/(40)`

So, 1/40 of the dogs at the show were English foxhounds.
