Answer:
Fraction = [tex]\dfrac{3}{20}[/tex]
Step-by-step 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 :
[tex]x=\dfrac{3}{8}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\\\\x=\dfrac{3}{20}[/tex]
So, the fraction of space taken by coral is [tex]\dfrac{3}{20}[/tex] in an aquarium.
