3/8*4/5=12/40

12/40=3/10 or 0.3

calculista

we know that

1) Sam had \(\frac{4}{5}\) yards of yarn

2) Sam used \(\frac{3}{8}\) of the yarn

so

To calculate how many yards of yarn he used

Multiply \(\frac{4}{5}\) by \(\frac{3}{8}\)

\(\frac{4}{5} *\frac{3}{8} =\frac{12}{40} \ yards\)

Simplify

Divide by \(4\) both numerator and denominator

\(\frac{12}{40}=\frac{(12/4)}{(40/4)}=\frac{3}{10}\ yards\)

therefore

the answer is the option C

\(\frac{3}{10}\ yards\)
