Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{9}{20}$ 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:

$\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{6}{8}\times \frac{3}{5}$

$\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{5}$

$\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 5}$

$\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{9}{20}$

Therefore, $\frac{9}{20}$ students play sport and part of the drama club.
