Tuesday at the zoo, 5/12 of the visitors were adults. Of these adults, 3/10 were men. What fraction of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men?
You need to do the following equation:
(5/12)(3/10)
53=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
