Answer:

If 5/6 of the employees in a company are male, then the fraction of male employees in the company is:

5/6

If 7/8 of the male employees wear spectacles, then the fraction of male employees who wear spectacles is:

7/8

To find the fraction of employees who are males and wear spectacles, we need to multiply the fractions:

(5/6) x (7/8) = 35/48

Therefore, the fraction of employees who are males and wear spectacles is 35/48.
