Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can put an actual number to this just for easier purposes

So let's say there was 100 oranges at the grocery store

Mom brought home 1/4 which is 25 oranges

100 * [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 25

So now we have 25 oranges

Then, Shyla ate 2/5 of the oranges

So we want 2/5 of the 25 left oranges

25 * [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = 10

And 10 out of 100 is:

1/10

The easier way to do it is to just multiply the fractions together:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} * \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10}[/tex]
