No. It would incorrect. The question asks you to enter a value as a fraction not necessarily in the simple form. Which means if you write 2/8 that is 1/4, then it is correct.

Original question: 30% of 50 is what fraction of 75% of 80?
Evaluate to get: 6 is what fraction of 60?

6/60 = 1/10
So, 6 is 1/10 of 60

Answer: 1/10

Cheers,
Brent

30 % of 50 = 15 and 75% of 80 = 60.
Thus, 15/ 60 = 1/4.
