Question

play football. What fraction of the students at West High School play football?

Answer 1

To find the fraction of the students at West High School who play football, we need to first find the fraction of students who play a sport and then multiply by the fraction of students who play football.

Fraction of students who play a sport: 2/5
Fraction of students who play football (of those who play a sport): 1/4

Now we can multiply these two fractions:
(2/5) * (1/4) = 2/20 = 1/10

Therefore, 1/10 of the students at West High School play football.
