To find a fraction of something, you simply divide the amount you have by the total. In this case, you need to do 240/300.

The next step is to simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by any common factors. We can see straight off that both top and bottom divide by 10 so can simplify it to 24/30

It is now clear that top and bottom both divide by 6, so we can simplify the fraction to 4/5, and this is the answer in its simplest form.
