Question
12/35 stamps are from Asia. Of these Asian stamps 5/16 are from Thailand. What fraction of the stamp collection are from Thailand?
I want to think I need to divide but I'm not sure it makes sense. 12/35 divided by 5/16= 12/35 times 16/5 = my answer of 192/175. Is this correct? Thank you so much for your help.
