Fractions and proportion

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers. The given question will be solved using the method of proportion.

If Uncle Bill has planted fruits in the farm and 7/12 is watermelon, and 2/3 of the watermelon section is ruined from the storm, the fraction ruined from the storm is;

Fraction ruined from the storm = 2/3* (7/12)

Simplify to its lowest term to have:

Fraction ruined from the storm = 7/18

Determine the fraction of the firm that is not ruined

Fraction not ruined = 1 - 7/18

Fraction not ruined = 11/18

Hence the fraction of his farm which isn’t ruined is 11/18 if uncle Bill has planted fruits in the farm and 7/12 is watermelon.
