3/8 of the animals are birds
of the birds: 4/15 are birds of prey

If you want to know what fraction of the animals at the zoo are birds of prey, you can calculate this using the following steps:

4/15 * 3/8 = 12 / (15*8) = 1 / (5*2) = 1 / 10 = 0.1

Result: In the town zoo, 1/10 of animals are birds of prey.
