Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the jar contains red gumballs

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we know:

  • [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the jar is gumballs
  • [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of the gumballs are red

To find the fraction of red gumballs in the whole jar, multiply the fractions:

Red gumball fraction × Total gumball fraction

[tex]= \frac{3}{5}*\frac{2}{3}\\= \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, red gumballs contain [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the whole jar.

I hope this helps!
