Answer:

1/32

Explanation:

So we know that green shirts can be represented by 1/4 of 1/8. It's 1/4 of the 1/8 of shirts in the store. The key word here is "of," which means multiplication.

So you can replace 1/4 of 1/8 with:


(1)/(4) x (1)/(8)

To multiply fractions, it's really simple: multiply the denominator with the denominator and the numerator with the numerator.


(1)/(4) x (1)/(8) = (1)/(32)

So 1/32 of the entire store is green shirts.
