A model of the ocean floor takes up 2/5 of the space in an aquarium. If 3/8 of the model is coral, what fraction of the space in an aquarium is taken up by coral?

Answer 1

Fraction =
`(3)/(20)`

Explanation:

Given that,

A model of the ocean floor takes up 2/5 of the space in an aquarium.

3/8 of the model is coral.

We need to find the fraction of the space in an aquarium is taken up by coral. So, it can be done as follows :

`x=(3)/(8)* (2)/(5)\\\\x=(3)/(20)`

So, the fraction of space taken by coral is
`(3)/(20)` in an aquarium.
