Answer

Maria is personally responsible for $\frac{1}{4}$ of the ABC's accounts

Work Step by Step

Maria’s department has $\frac{3}{4}$of all of the accounts within the ABC Advertising Agency, and Maria is personally responsible for $\frac{1}{3}$ of them. So, Maria is personally responsible for $\frac{1}{3}$ of the $\frac{3}{4}$ of the accounts that her department has within the ABC. To find the portion of all of the accounts at ABC that Maria is personally responsible for, we multiply $\frac{1}{3}$ by $\frac{3}{4}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\times$ $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{12}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ Maria is personally responsible for $\frac{1}{4}$ of ABC's accounts
