Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of students in a school

Number of girls = 1/2x

Number of girls taking Family and Consumer Science = 3/5 of 1/2x

What fraction of girls are taking Family and Consumer Science?

= 3/5 of 1/2x

= 3/5 × 1/2x

= (3*1)x/(5*2)

= 3/10x

fraction of girls taking Family and Consumer Science = 3/10
