Answer 2

so, let's say that all the dogs had a number of x.

then 1/12 x were the Hound Group dogs.

then, out of the Hound Group,, that is 1/12 x, 3/10 were English Foxhounds.

For this, we need to multiply the fractions:


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

so of all the dogs at the show, the English Foxhunds were a 1/40 fraction,
