Answer :

To determine the fraction of the 300 fish that Nita caught, first, we determine the number of fish that Chris caught. The 45% of 300 is:

[tex]300*\frac{45}{100}=135.[/tex]

Now, in total Chris, Nita and Craig caught 300 fish, therefore:

[tex]135+x+25=300.[/tex]

x represents the number of fish caught by Nita.

Solving the above equation for x, we get:

[tex]x=300-25-135=140.[/tex]

Therefore, Nina caught

[tex]140[/tex]

out of the 300 fish, which is represented by the fraction:

[tex]\frac{140}{300}.[/tex]

Finally, simplifying the above fraction, we get:

[tex]\frac{7}{15}.[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\frac{7}{15}.[/tex]
