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?

Verified Answer :

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 = \(\frac{1}{12}\)
