Of the cars in a used-car lot, 2/5 are the color gray. 2/3 of the gray cars are electrically powered vehicles. What fraction of the cars on the lot are both gray and electrically powered?
A. 1/15
B. 2/15
C. 4/15
D. 1/2
To find the fraction of cars that are both gray and electrically powered, we first need to find the fraction of cars that are gray and then find the fraction of gray cars that are electrically powered.
Fraction of cars that are gray = 2/5
Fraction of gray cars that are electrically powered = 2/3
Fraction of cars that are both gray and electrically powered = (2/5) * (2/3) = 4/15
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 4/15.
