Based on an a high statistics e+e- -> ccbar data sample, we report on the inclusive rate for charmed baryons to decay into / particles using charm-event tagging. We select e+e- -> ccbar events which have a clear anti-charm tag and measure the / content in the hemisphere opposite the tag (charge conjugate modes are implicit). This allows us to determine the product branching fraction: B(/)=B(c->Theta_c)*B(Theta_c->/\X), where Theta_c represents a sum over all charmed baryons produced in e+e- fragmentation at sqrt(s)=10.5 GeV, given our specific tags. We obtain B(/)=(1.87+/-0.03+/-0.33)%
