In a recent survey 5/8 of pet owners say they allow their pet to go outside. Of these, 1/3 allow their pet outside without supervision. Does 5/8*1/3 express the fraction of the pet owners surveyed that allow their pet outside without supervision? My answer is yes. Did I do good?

Yes, you are correct.

To determine whether the expression 5/8 * 1/3 represents the fraction of the pet owners surveyed that allow their pet outside without supervision, you need to multiply the fractions.

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. So, in this case, the multiplication would be (5 * 1) / (8 * 3) = 5/24.

Therefore, the expression 5/8 * 1/3 represents the fraction 5/24, not the fraction 5/8.

So, your answer is incorrect.
