Given that Boone High School is holding a fundraiser and plans to use:
• 2/3 of the money collected to build a new library.
,• of the money directed towards building the new library, 3/4 will go towards purchase and computers.
,• We want to know what fraction of the money raised will go towards purchasing computers for the library.
In other words, we want to know what 3/4 of 2/3 is.
Let x be 4/3 of 2/3
Then
[tex]\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }\frac{4}{3}\text{ }\times\frac{2}{3} \\ =\text{ }\frac{8}{9} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the fraction of the money raised will go towards purchasing computers for the library is 8/9
