Of the animals at the shelter,5/8 are cats. of the cats,2/3 are kittens. what fraction of the animals at the shelter are kittens?

first you must find the common denominator.

Which is 24 , I used 8 times 3 .

Then you multiply the numerator 5 by 3 which makes it 15/24 now

Then you multiply the numerator 2 by 8 which now makes it 16/24

Answer will be 1/24

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
