Question

Perry has a garden.

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The fraction of Perry's garden is planted with tomatoes=  $\dfrac{1}{2}$

The fraction of Perry's garden is planted with peppers = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

The fraction of Perry's garden is planted with either tomatoes or peppers

=$\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{3+2}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}$

Then, the fraction of the remaining part = $1-\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=\dfrac{6-5}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}$  [In fraction 1 is denoted for complete part.]

Since , the remaining part of his garden is planted with flowers.

Hence, the fraction of Perry’s garden is planted with flowers = $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Answer 2

1/6 of his garden is flowers because 1/2=3/6 and 1/3=2/6 and when you add those =5/6 and the remaining is flowers so it’s 1/6
