To determine the fraction of the households in Galaxy Town that own cats as pets, we simply have to multiply the two fractions given. That is,
                                  x = (2/5)(1/3)
The value of x from the equation written above is 2/15. 
Therefore, 2/15 of the households in GalaxyTown own cats.
