Something is strange in the wording of the question.  "Of the division problems, 4/9 of the problems he got incorrect.  What fraction of the division problems did Gavin get incorrect?" :)  Well 4/9 of course.  One statement answers another.  Maybe they wanted the fraction of those wrong answers were in relation to the entire test???


[tex] \frac {3}{8} * \frac {4}{9} = \frac {12}{72} = \frac {1}{6} [/tex]
