Fawn plants 2/3 of the garden with vegetables. Her son plants the remainder of the garden. He decides to use 1/2 of his plant flowers, and in the rest, he plants herbs. What fraction of the entire garden is planted in flowers?
Question
Answer:
Given that Fawn plants vegetables into garden = [tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex]Exact amount of garden is not given so we can assume that amount of garden is 1.Then remaining amount of garden [tex] =1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{3}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3-2}{3}=\frac{1}{3} [/tex]Now half of the remaining part of garden that is half of [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] rd part of garden is planted with flowersso that will be [tex] \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6} [/tex]Hence required fraction for the answer will be 1/6.
