Homeroom 101 and Homeroom 102 share a hallway bulletin board. If Homeroom 101 uses [tex]$\frac{3}{5}$[/tex] of their half to display artwork, what fraction of the bulletin board is used to display Homeroom 101's artwork?

In the question, we are told that, homeroom 101 and homeroom 102 share a bulletin board; this implies that each one of them have right to 1/2 of the bulletin board.
If homeroom 101 uses 3/5 of their half portion, then the calculation will be:
3/5 * 1/2 = 3/10.
Thus, the homeroom 101 uses 3/10 of the bulletin board to display their artwork.

If the remainder of the board available to Home Room 102 is 1/ 2 (or 5/10) then it follows that of the complete board the fraction used by Home room 101 is three tenths (or 3/10 ). Hope this helped answer your question!

Homeroom 101 uses 10 3 ​ of the entire bulletin board for their artwork. This is calculated by taking 5 3 ​ of their half of the bulletin board, which is 2 1 ​ . Therefore, the calculation is 5 3 ​ × 2 1 ​ = 10 3 ​ .
