Answer 1

This is a pretty tough question if you do the math with fractions, so what you should do is change all the fractions to decimals first.

1/10 = 0.1 (or 10%).
2/3 = 0.666 (about 67%).
1/2 = 0.5 (or 50%).

Now we'll do the math. You want to find 1/10 of "2/3 of 1/2". This is also finding about 67% of 1/2 (0.5).

67%*0.5 = 0.333 (1/3).

Now you simplified the problem to "What is 1/10 of 1/3?" In order to finish the problem, multiply 1/3 by 10% (or 0.1). Your answer will be 0.03333...(it will be a repeating decimal). This is your answer. You can also write it as a fraction (1/30) or a percentage (3.3%). So, the three possible answers you can have are 0.0333, 1/30, and 3.3%.
