<p>Three fifths of the people in the town of Anyville are Republicans. Of the remaining individuas, one-third are retired. What fraction of the people in Anyville are both retired and not Republicans?</p>
<p>3/5 of people in the town are republicans. That means that 2/5 of the people are NOT republicans </p>
<p>The questions says that of the remaining 2/5 people, 1/3 are not retired so …</p>
<p>(1/3)x(2/5) will give you the number of people who are NOT republicans and retired</p>
<p>The answer is 2/15</p>
<p>Hope this helps :)</p>
<p>first we will say that the total of people = 100 , then we will get the
republicans = 3/5 x 100 = 60
retired = 1/3 x 40 = 40/3 , because he said of the remaining(100-60=40) individuals one third are retired .
then you must know that what fraction = part/total = 40/3 / 100 = 2/15
hopes that helps you :)</p>
