To find the fraction of students at West High School who play football, we need to multiply the fraction of students who play a sport by the fraction of students who play football within that group.
Fraction of students who play a sport = 2/5
Fraction of students who play football within that group = 1/4
Fraction of students who play football = (2/5) * (1/4) = 2/20 = 1/10
Therefore, 1/10 of the students at West High School play football. Answer: \boxed{\frac{1}{10}}.
