Answer:
7/30
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Seven-ninths (7/9) of the pencils in a box are yellow and three-tenths (3/10) of the yellow pencils are sharpened.
To find the fraction that represents sharpened yellow pencils, we find the product of the the fraction of yellow pencils and the fraction of yellow pencils that are sharpened.
That is:
=> (7 / 9) * (3 / 10)
=(7 * 3) / (9 * 10)
= 21 / 90
= 7 / 30
7/30 represents the fraction of sharpened yellow pencils.
