After 77 failed attempts, The hockey team finally won the championship. Now 1/2 of the fans think that the city should name a street after the winning coach, and 1/12 of those believe he should be appointed as mayor. What fraction of the fans believe the coach should be appointed mayor as well as have a Street named after him? Make sure your answer is fully reduced

Respuesta :

The 77 has nothing to do with the problem. It's added in there to throw you off.

1/2 of the fans want a street named after the coach
1/12 of the people who want the street renamed also want the coach to be mayor.

Multiply the two fractions 1/2 and 1/12 to get
(1/2)*(1/12) = (1*1)/(2*12) = 1/24
notice how I'm simply multiplying straight across: the numerators multiply together; the denominators multiply together

So 1/24 of the fans want the coach to be mayor

Final Answer: 1/24
