Answer:
The word “of” in mathematical terms means multiplication. The word “is” means equal. This would be translated into 50% x 25% x X = or 0.50 x 0.25 x X =. 0.50 times 0.25 = 0.125. Putting 0.125 into a fraction, it would be 125/1000. Simplify this fraction to get 1/8. So, the answer would be A.
