Fractions: Solve This One

This is an entertaining question. Have fun solving!

On a certain French-American committee, 2/3 of the members are men, and 3/8 of the men are Americans. If 3/5 of the committee members are French, what fraction of the members are American women?

Directions: Post only your answer in the comments, don’t post the method you used to solve for the answer!

And Absar, if you are not able to solve it does not mean that the question is wrong!
