To find the fraction of teenagers who mainly exercise by playing soccer, we need to multiply the fraction of teenagers who have gotten regular exercise (3/4) by the fraction of those who have gotten regular exercise and said soccer was their main form of exercise (5/9).

Fraction of teenagers who mainly exercise by playing soccer = (3/4) * (5/9)

First, multiply the numerators: 3 * 5 = 15.
Then multiply the denominators: 4 * 9 = 36.

So, the fraction of teenagers who mainly exercise by playing soccer is 15/36.

To simplify the fraction 15/36, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by it.

The GCD of 15 and 36 is 3. Dividing both numerator and denominator by 3 gives:

15/36 = (15 ÷ 3) / (36 ÷ 3) = 5/12

So, the simplified fraction representing the proportion of teenagers who mainly exercise by playing soccer is 5/12.

No, it cannot be simplified to 1 7/20 because 5/12 is already in its simplest form.
