Question

Extra Question: One-fourth of a 10m by 10m garden is planted with corn. Two-tenths of the garden is planted with squash. Thirty-five hundredths of the garden is planted with beans. The rest is planted with flowers.. What fraction of the garden is planted with flowers. Write your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the garden = 10m × 10m = 100m²

1/4 of 100 planted with corn = 1/4 × 100m²

= 25m²

2/10 of 100 planted with squash = 2/10 × 100m²

= 20m²

35/100 of 100 planted with beans = 35/100 × 100m²

= 35m²

Garden planted with flowers = 100m² - (25m² + 20m² + 35m²)

= 100m² - 80m²

= 20m²

fraction of flowers planted = 20/100 m²

= 1/5 or (0.2)
