Let's call the total number of campers C.
One-third of the campers play an instrument, which means (1/3)C campers play an instrument.
Two-fifths of those campers play the guitar, which means (2/5)(1/3)C campers play the guitar.
Simplifying, we get (2/15)C campers playing the guitar.
Therefore, the fraction of campers playing the guitar is 2/15.
