2/3 of the students watched tv. Of those students 3/4 watched a reality show. Of the students that watched the show 1/4 of them recorded the show. What fraction of the students watched and recorded a reality tv show?

not sure what to do, thinking we need to eliminate one of the fractions.

I would think that as 1/4 watched and recorded the show based off of the wording.

Stephen -- you are wrong!

(2/3) * (3/4) * (1/4) = 6/48 = 1/8

To find the fraction of students who watched and recorded a reality TV show, we need to multiply the fractions together.

Let's start by finding the fraction of students who watched TV and then watched a reality show.

Since 2/3 of the students watched TV and 3/4 of those students watched a reality show, we can multiply these fractions:

(2/3) * (3/4) = 6/12 = 1/2

So, 1/2 of the students watched TV and watched a reality show.

Now, we need to find the fraction of students who watched and recorded the reality show. We know that 1/4 of the students who watched the reality show recorded it.

To find the final fraction, we multiply the fraction of students who watched and the fraction of students who recorded:

(1/2) * (1/4) = 1/8

Therefore, 1/8 of the students watched and recorded a reality TV show.
