The fraction of students that play basketball from the given information can be determined by assuming that the whole number of students in the middle school is whole i.e. (1)
Let us first determine the number of students that participate in sports, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{=1- \dfrac{3}{5}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{2}{5}}[/tex]
If 1/4 of these students play basketball, then we have:
[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{1}{4}\times (\dfrac{2}{5})}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{1}{10}}[/tex] students play basketball.
