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 in the water both gray and electrically powered? leave your answer and simplified fraction form.

Answer 1

To find the fraction of cars that are both gray and electrically powered, we need to multiply the fractions for the probability of being gray and electrically powered.

The fraction of gray cars is 2/5.
The fraction of electrically powered cars among the gray cars is 1/3.

Multiplying these fractions together, we get:

(2/5) * (1/3) = 2/15.

Therefore, the fraction of cars in the car lot that are both gray and electrically powered is 2/15.
