To find a fraction of a fraction, you just need to multiply the fractions.  To do that, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

[tex]\frac{1}{12}*\frac{3}{10}=\frac{1*3}{12*10}=\frac{3}{120}=\frac{1}{40}[/tex]

So, 1/40 of the dogs at the show were English foxhounds.

1/12 * 3/10 would equal 3/120

So if you simplify 3/120 then it would become 1/40

Hope this helped! :)
