Question

contexts.
Of the cars in a used-car lot, 2/5 are the color gray. 1/3 of the gray cars are electrically powered vehicles. What fraction of the cars on the lot are both gray and electrically powered? Leave your answer in simplified fraction form.
Answer: 2/15
describe as a 7th grader in a semi-short sentance and still have some explaining on how its correct.

Answer 1

To find out what fraction of the cars in the used-car lot are both gray and electrically powered, we multiply the fraction of gray cars (2/5) by the fraction of gray cars that are electrically powered (1/3). So, we do \( \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 3} = \frac{2}{15} \). This means that out of all the cars, 2 out of every 15 cars are both gray and electrically powered.

Answer 2

all the fractions are glitched, change them to the fractions listed in the question i asked.

Answer 3

To find out what fraction of the cars in the used-car lot are both gray and electrically powered, we multiply the fraction of gray cars (2/5) by the fraction of gray cars that are electrically powered (1/3). So, we do \( \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 3} = \frac{2}{15} \). This means that out of every 15 cars in the lot, 2 cars are both gray and electrically powered.

Answer 4

they are still glitched

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion. Here’s the response with the fractions as provided in your original question:

To find out what fraction of the cars in the used-car lot are both gray and electrically powered, we multiply the fraction of gray cars (2/5) by the fraction of gray cars that are electrically powered (1/3). So, we calculate \( \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 3} = \frac{2}{15} \). This means that out of every 15 cars in the lot, 2 cars are both gray and electrically powered.

Answer 6

you see the question i said with all the fractions, the glitched fractions look like this: \( \frac{number here}{number here} fix them to look like they aren't glitched like
number here/number here

Answer 7

Thank you for your patience, and I understand now! Here’s the answer with the fractions displayed in plain text:

To find out what fraction of the cars in the used-car lot are both gray and electrically powered, we multiply the fraction of gray cars (2/5) by the fraction of gray cars that are electrically powered (1/3). So, we calculate 2/5 times 1/3, which equals (2 * 1)/(5 * 3) = 2/15. This means that out of every 15 cars in the lot, 2 cars are both gray and electrically powered.
