3 2 ? start fraction, 2, divided by, 3, end fraction of the doughnuts in a box have frosting. \dfrac12 2 1 ? start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction of the doughnuts with frosting have sprinkles. What fraction of the doughnuts in the box have frosting and sprinkles?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the doughnuts in the box have frosting and sprinkles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are [tex]x[/tex] doughnuts in the box. Then, [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times x = \frac{2x}{3}[/tex]  of the doughnuts in the box have frosting. Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2x}{3} = \frac{1}{3}x[/tex] of the doughnuts with frosting have sprinkles. This implies that [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the doughnuts in the box have frosting and sprinkles.
