Answer 1

Given that Boone High School is holding a fundraiser and plans to use:

• 2/3 of the money collected to build a new library.

,

• of the money directed towards building the new library, 3/4 will go towards purchase and computers.

,

• We want to know what fraction of the money raised will go towards purchasing computers for the library.

In other words, we want to know what 3/4 of 2/3 is.

Let x be 4/3 of 2/3

Then

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }(4)/(3)\text{ }*(2)/(3) \\ =\text{ }(8)/(9) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the fraction of the money raised will go towards purchasing computers for the library is 8/9
