Respuesta :

I think it is 1/7 I hope this helps

Answer : The fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys, [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Fraction of animals at a zoo are monkeys = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Fraction of monkeys are male = [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

So,

Fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys = Fraction of animals at a zoo are monkeys × Fraction of monkeys are male

Fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys = [tex]\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{5}{7}[/tex]

Fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys = [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Thus, the fraction of the animals at the zoo are male monkeys, [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
