Answer:
[tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex] students.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that of the students that attended Roosevelt Elementary 6/8 of the school play a sport. Of the students are playing a sport 3/5 of the students are also involved in the drama club.
To find the students are both play a sport and a part of the drama club, we need to find 3/5 part of 6/8 as:
[tex]\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{6}{8}\times \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{9}{20}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex] students play sport and part of the drama club.
Answer:
18/40
Step-by-step explanation
6 out of every 8 students playing a sport, meaning 75 percent of the school play a sport. 3 out of 5 of those 6 out of 8 are in the drama club, this means that we must multiply 60% (3 divided by 5) of those 75%. When we do that we get --> 0.75*0.6=0.45. That fraction is 45/100 and simplified by 2.5, the answer is 18/40.
