Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of all his shoes are red running shoes
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 of Luis' shoes are running shoes.
Of those, 50%(1/2) are red.
Then
What fraction of all his shoes are red running shoes?
1/2 of 1/4
(1/2)*(1/4) = (1/8)
[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of all his shoes are red running shoes
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
He has a collection of shoes representing x in number. 1/4 of his shoes are running shoes. Thus we have
1/4 of x = 1/4x.
Of this fraction, 50% which is 1/2 are red. Thus, we have
(1/2)*(1/4x) to be red.
The fraction of of all his shoes that are running shoes will thus be (1/2)*(1/4) = 1/8 of the total amount (x).
