Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If you originally have [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of your garden reserved for carrots, are taking [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the carrot space ( [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] ) for strawberries, then the total amount of your garden left for strawberries will be [tex]\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{20}[/tex] simplifies down to [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex].
