Question

Tuesday at the zoo, 5/12 of the visitors were adults. Of these adults, 3/10 were men. What fraction of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men?

Answer 1

You need to do the following equation:

(5/12)*(3/10)

5*3=15
12*10=120

15/120=5/40 of the adults who visited were men.

Answer 2

Tuesday at the zoo, 5/12 of the visitors were adults. Of these adults, 3/10 were men.

To find the fraction of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men

Multiply the fraction of men with number of adults

`(3)/(10)` *
`(5)/(12)`

`(15)/(120)`=
`(1)/(8)`

`(1)/(8)` fraction of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men
