Answer 2

The Garden should be divided into 3 equal parts.

Given:

$Corns~to~be~planted = \cfrac{8}{12}$

To Find:

Fewest Number of parts of the garden.

Solution:

The fraction given of the garden in the question represents that out of the 12 parts 8 will be cropped with corn.

So, by simplifying it we will get the least part of the division to be done.

                                              $=\cfrac{8}{12} \\=\cfrac{4}{6} \\=\cfrac{2}{3}$

As the given fraction can not be simplified further.

Hence the garden should be divided into three equal parts.
