Cliff collects antique farm equipment. 5/8 of his collection are tractors. Of these tractors 1/5 of them are in working order. How much of his whole collection are working tractors?
\({{5 \over 8} * {1 \over 5}} = {1 \over 8}\)
So, \(1 \over 8\) of the tractors are in working conditions.
Just as builderboi said!
\(\frac{5}{8}\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5\times1}{8\times5}=\frac{5}{40} simplify, \frac{1}{8}\)
