Question

At Susie's school, 5/8 of all students play sports. Of the students who play sports, 2/5 play soccer. What fraction of the students in Susie's school play soccer?

Answer 1

You would multiply 5/8 * 2/5, and the answer is 0.25, which converts to 25/100 or 1/4

Answer 2

9/40 because you would convert 2/5 into 16/40 and 5/8 into 25/40. then you just need to subtract
