Three-fifths of the students in a room are girls. One-third of the girls have blond hair. One-half of the boys have brown hair. What fraction of all the students are girls with blond hair?

Answer:

1/5

*I'm sorry if I got it wrong, but if not I hope this helps!*

Explanation:

since 3/5 of the students are girls, and 1/3 of the girls have blonde hair, to find what fraction of all the girls have blond hair, we would multiply 3/5(1/3)

3/5(1/3)=3/15=1/5

therefore, 1/5 of all the students are girls with blond hair
