Answer 1

1/3 of 3/8 is 1/8
So 1/8 of the wall is yellow in color

Answer 2

Fraction is yellow color of the entire wall is $\frac{1}{8}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A painter painted $\frac{3}{8}$ of wall of which one third is yellow.

To find : What fraction is yellow color of the entire wall ?

Solution :

Let the total wall be 'x'.

A painter painted $\frac{3}{8}$ of wall i.e. $\frac{3}{8}x$

A painter painted $\frac{3}{8}$ of wall of which one third is yellow is $\frac{1}{3}(\frac{3}{8}x)=\frac{1}{8}x$

Fraction of yellow color to the entire wall is given by,

$F=\frac{\frac{1}{8}x}{x}$

$F=\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, fraction is yellow color of the entire wall is $\frac{1}{8}$.
