To find the fraction of students at TMS in the drama club, we need to multiply the fractions that represent these two pieces of information.

2/5 of the students at TMS are in a club, so we can represent this fraction as 2/5.

Then, 1/4 of the students in a club are in the drama club. We can represent this fraction as 1/4.

To find the fraction of students at TMS in drama club, we multiply these two fractions:

2/5 * 1/4 = (2*1)/(5*4) = 2/20.

So, the fraction of students at TMS in the drama club is 2/20, which can be simplified to 1/10.
