I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same.
Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>
The given expression is

And since we have x+2 common in numerator and denominator, there is a hole at x+2=0, that is at x=-2
And a function is undefined when denominator is zero. And at x=-6, denominator become zero.
So, at x=-6, the function is undefined, or there is a vertical asymptote at x=-6 and hole at x=-2 .
Total number of fields of vegetables = 62
Thus,
The amount of fields that is cabbage =
