To find the fraction of students at West High School who play football, we need to multiply the fractions representing the proportions of students who participate in sports and play football.
First, we know that 2/5 of the students play a sport.
We can then take 1/4 of this fraction to find the fraction of students who play football.
1/4 * 2/5 = 2/20
Simplifying this fraction, we get 1/10.
Therefore, the fraction of students at West High School who play football is 1/10.
