Question

A gardener found that he was able to plant 1/4 of a packet of flower seeds in 1/5 of a garden.At this rate how much of the garden would he cover with the entire packet of seeds

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{4}{5}$ of garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area covered by $\frac{1}{4}$ of a packet of flower seeds=$\frac{1}{5}$ of a garden.

The area covered in 1 packet=$4\times\frac{1}{5}$

⇒The area covered in 1 packet=$\frac{4}{5}$ of garden.

Thus, the entire packet of seeds would cover $\frac{4}{5}$ of garden.
