Question

Of the animals at the shelter,5/8 are cats.Of the cats,2/3 are kittens. What fraction of the animals at the shelter are kittens?

Answer 1

first you must find the common denominator.

Which is 24 , I used 8 times 3 .

Then you multiply the numerator 5 by 3 which makes it 15/24 now

Then you multiply the numerator 2 by 8 which now makes it 16/24

Answer will be 1/24

Answer 2

When dividing fractions, flip the second fraction over and then multiply.
(5/8)(3/2)= 15/16
