Verified Answer :

You need to do the following equation:

(5/12)(3/10)

5
3=15
12*10=120

15/120=5/40 of the adults who visited were men.

Tuesday at the zoo, 5/12 of the visitors were adults. Of these adults, 3/10 were men.

To find the fraction  of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men

Multiply the fraction of men with number of adults

\(\frac{3}{10}\) * \(\frac{5}{12}\)

\(\frac{15}{120}\)=  \(\frac{1}{8}\)

\(\frac{1}{8}\)  fraction of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men
