Answer 1

2/3* 4/5 = 8/15

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one. Please have a look at the attached file below.

Given:

• One-fifth (1/5) of the playground is used for students to sit and read
• 2/3 is used for playing soccer
• The rest of the playground is used for playing basketball

So assume that the the playground is divided into 5 equal part

=> 1 part is used for students to sit and read or (1/5)

=> the remaining equal part is 4 or (4/5)

Because 2/3 of the remaining part is used for playing soccer

=> the equation represents the part of the playground used for soccer is:

2/3 of 4/5

= 2/3* 4/5

= 8/15
