Given that 8/22 of students like animated movie and 6/15 of those that like animated movies prefer movies that are funny, then the fraction of these students will be:

6/15 of 8/22

=6/15*8/22

simplifying the above we get:

=8/55

therefore the fraction of students who like animated movies and funny movies is 8/55
