Answer:

The fraction of the fans at the football game that wore both a team T-shirts and team hat is [tex]2\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> total fans

we know that

[tex]8\frac{1}{5}x[/tex] ----> wore team T-shirts

Convert to an improper fraction

[tex]8\frac{1}{5}x=8\frac{8*5+1}{5}=\frac{41}{5}x[/tex]

Multiply by 1/4

[tex]\frac{41}{5}x*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{41}{20}x[/tex]

convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{41}{20}x=\frac{40}{20}+\frac{1}{20}=2\frac{1}{20}x[/tex]

therefore

The fraction of the fans at the football game that wore both a team T-shirts and team hat is [tex]2\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
