Answer:
3/20 or 0.15
explanation: In arithmetic, the number is expressed as a quotient, in which the numerator is divided by the denominator. In a simple fraction, both are integers. A complex fraction has a fraction in the numerator or denominator. In a proper fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator. In Mathematics, fractions are represented as a numerical value, which defines a part of a whole. A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing. Let us understand this concept using an example. The following figure shows a pizza that is divided into 8 equal parts. Now, if we want to express one selected part of the pizza, we can express it as 1/8 which shows that out of 8 equal parts, we are referring to 1 part.
It means one in eight equal parts. It can also be read as: 1 by 8. If 3/5=nonfiction and as a part of that 3/5: 1/4=animal
that means that 3/20 (or 0.15) of those books are non fiction animal books
To get the answer you can also type 1/4 of 3/5 into your calculator.
All fractions consist of a numerator and a denominator and they are separated by a horizontal bar known as the fractional bar. Proper fractions are the fractions in which the numerator is less than its denominator. For example, 5/7, 3/8, 2/5, and so on are proper fractions.
