Actually, 48 × 1/3 = 16, integer. 1/3 of 16? 16 not divisible by 3 — but in problem, it's possible for authors to include such numbers for calculation.
Dr. Kapoor reviewed 48 gene sequences. 1/3 are novel, meaning 16. Of those 16, 25% have novel protein sequences. Of those, 40% are approved. How many are approved?
With protein sequences: 16 × 0.25 = <<16 * 0.25 = 4>>4.
But 40% is 2/5, and 4 × 2/5 = 8/5 = 1.6 — not integer.
But perhaps the problem intends:
"Of the novel ones, 1/3 contain novel protein sequences, and 1/2 of those are approved" — then 4 × 0.5 = 2.
