Answer:

2/3* 4/5 = 8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  Please have a look at the attached file below.

Given:

  • One-fifth (1/5)  of the playground is used for students to sit and read
  • 2/3 is used for playing soccer
  • The rest of the playground is used for playing basketball

So assume that the the playground is divided into 5 equal part

=> 1 part is used for students to sit and read or (1/5)

=>  the remaining equal part is 4  or (4/5)

Because 2/3 of the remaining part is used for playing soccer

=> the equation represents the part of the playground used for soccer is:

2/3 of 4/5

= 2/3* 4/5

= 8/15
