To find a fraction of a fraction, you multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.
In this example, you want to find one-third (1/3) of two-fifths (2/5).
(1/3) * (2/5) = (1*2) / (3*5) = 2/15
Therefore, one-third of two-fifths is equal to 2/15.
How do you find a fraction of a fraction? Example: one third of two fifths.
