Respuesta :
The article about endangered species is [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex] of the cover page
Solution:
Given that, newspaper’s cover page is [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] text and photographs fill the rest
[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the text is an article about endangered species
To find: fraction of the cover page that is the article about endangered species
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] is article about endangered species
Thus we get,
Article about endangered species = [tex]\frac{2}{5} \text{ of } \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{6}{40}\\\\\text{Reducing to lowest terms, we get }\\\\\rightarrow \frac{6}{40} = \frac{3}{20}[/tex]
Hence, the article about endangered species is [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex] of the cover page
