Of the animals at the shelter, 5/8 are cats. Of the cats 2/3 are kittens. What fraction of the animals at the shelter are kittens?

Respuesta :

Answer: 16/24

Step-by-step explanation: Find out a common denominator: 8,16,24 and 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24. Which is 24.

Take 5/8 multiplied by 3 because its the 3rd multiple of 8. Which is 15/24.

Then, take 2/3 and multiply by 8 because its the 8th multiple of 3. This will give you 16/24.

Make sure to multiply both the top and bottom. :D
