Answer:

[tex]Parts = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]N = \frac{1}{6}[/tex] -- Not good enough

[tex]M = \frac{3}{4}[/tex] --- Minor repairs

Required

The parts that are not good enough but only needs minor repairs

To do this, we simply multiply M by N

[tex]Parts = M * N[/tex]

[tex]Parts = \frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Divide by 3/3

[tex]Parts = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Parts = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Hence, the part of the donation is 1/8
