    Step-by-step explanation:

    The way to find out what 1/3 * 2/5 means is to consider what each number is associated with.

    1/3 = = sesame seed buns

    2/5 = = ketchup

    So when you multiply the two fractions together you must be describing something that has to do with both of them and nothing more.

    The answer must be A: it is the fractional amount of hot dogs sold that were sesame seed buns and ketchup.

    The number of buns with nothing would be 1/10 which is not what you get.

    The number with a sesame bun and plain has nothing to do with 1/3 * 2/5. You need 1/10 in there somewhere.

    Ketchup is given as 2/5 The 1/3 has nothing to do with it.
