Problem
Jordan owns 15 pairs of sneakers. Three fifths of the pairs are red and the rest are white. Two thirds of the pairs are high-top and the rest are low-top. The red high-top sneakers make up a fraction of the collection. What is the least possible value of this fraction?
Solution
Jordan has high top sneakers, and white sneakers. We would want as many white high-top sneakers as possible, so we set high-top sneakers to be white. Then, we have red high-top sneakers, so the answer is ~andliu766
Solution 2
We first start by finding the amount of red and white sneakers. 3/5 * 15=9 red sneakers, so 6 are white sneakers. Then 2/3 * 15=10 are high top sneakers, so 5 are low top sneakers. Now think about 15 slots and the first 10 are labeled high top sneakers. if we insert the last 5 sneakers as red sneakers there are 4 leftover over red sneakers. Putting those four sneakers as high top sneakers we have are answer as C or

Solution 3
There are red pairs of sneakers and white pairs. There are also high-top pairs of sneakers and low-top pairs. Let be the number of red high-top sneakers and let be the number of white high-top sneakers. It follows that there are red pairs of low-top sneakers and white pairs. \\ We must have in order to have a valid amount of white sneakers. Solving this inequality gives , so the smallest possible value for is . This means that there would be pairs of low-top red sneakers, so there are pairs of low-top white sneakers and pairs of high top white sneakers. This checks out perfectly, so the smallest fraction is
