1/2 * 1/3 = ?
Calculate and change to %.

Thanks for your help! But the Problem with Larin's answer is that she didn't simplify the fraction percentage to a mixed number percentage. So if she would have done that, it would be perfect. I found the answer:
1/6 for the first part.
And 162/3% simplified is 54 or also known as 54 0/3.
What’s the anwser!
She meant 16 2/3. , not 162/3
To find the fraction of students who are girls with long hair, we need to multiply the fraction of students who are girls by the fraction of girls who have long hair.
First, let's find the fraction of students who are girls. We are told that half of the students are girls. So, the fraction of students who are girls is 1/2.
Next, let's find the fraction of girls who have long hair. We are told that one-third of the girls have long hair. So, the fraction of girls with long hair is 1/3.
To find the fraction of students who are girls with long hair, we multiply the fractions: (1/2) * (1/3) = 1/6.
Therefore, 1/6 of the students are girls with long hair.
To find the percent of the students who are girls with long hair, we multiply the fraction by 100. So, (1/6) * 100 = 16.67%.
Therefore, approximately 16.67% of the students are girls with long hair.
