Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of the class has a dog, and 1/4 of the class has a cat. This means that some people will have both a cat and a dog.

You have to find the fraction of students who have both, so you have to multiply 2/3 and 1/4, 2*1 = 2, and 3*4 = 12, so the fraction is 2/12.

2/12 can be simplified to 1/6.

So, the amount of students in the class that have both a cat and a dog are 1/6.

Answer:

The answer is 1/6.
