To find out how many problems Tricia completes, we first need to determine how many problems are assigned to her. Since Ms. Williams divides the class into study groups of 4 students, we need to calculate how many problems each student gets.
The total number of problems is 100, and when divided among 4 students, each student receives:
\[
\frac{100 \text{ problems}}{4 \text{ students}} = 25 \text{ problems per student}
\]
Tricia completes \(\frac{3}{5}\) of the problems assigned to her. To find out how many problems she completes, we calculate:
\[
\text{Problems completed} = \frac{3}{5} \times 25
\]
Now we perform the multiplication:
\[
\frac{3 \times 25}{5} = \frac{75}{5} = 15
\]
Thus, Tricia completes \(\boxed{15}\) problems.
