Hello mate!

You know that 2/5 of the total girls signed up to play softball.

an equal number of the girls signed up to play pitcher, infield, and outfield.

this means that we could divide the 2/5 initial group into 3 equal smaller groups (one for each position)

then the fraction of girls that signed up to play outfield is:

(1/3)*(2/5) = 2/15

then 2/15 of the total girls signed to play softball in the position of outfield.
