Vicente wants to plant 3 different types onion in 1/4 of his garden. He will use an equal amount of space to plant each type of onion. What fraction of the total garden space will contain each type of onion?
1/12. To find a probability or percentage, multiply the fractions of 1/3 and 1/4 across the top and bottom
Answer: The fraction of the total garden space will contain each type of onion = \(\frac{1}{12}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given that, the number of types of onion Vicente wants to plant in his garden = 3
The part of garden he use to plant all of the types of the onions = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Therefore, the fraction of the total garden space will contain each type of onion = \(\frac{1}{4}\div3\)
Thus, the fraction of the total garden space will contain each type of onion = \(\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3}\)
Hence, the fraction of the total garden space will contain each type of onion = \(\frac{1}{12}\)
