Question

If 3 over 4 ton of pebbles covers 4 over 5 of a garden, how many tons of pebbles are required to cover the entire garden?

Answer 1

(3/4) / (4/5) = x/1
cross multiply
4/5x = 3/4
x = 3/4 * 5/4
x = 15/16 tons to cover entire garden

Answer 2

Answer:

The pebbles are required to cover the entire garden is $\frac{15}{16}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Convert the provided information into mathematical expression.

3 over 4 ton can be written as $\frac{3}{4}$ and 4 over 5 can be written as $\frac{4}{5}$.

Now, consider the pebbles are required to cover the entire garden is x.

Therefore

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{4}{5}\times{x}$

$x=\frac{3}{4}\times{\frac{5}{4}}$

$x=\frac{15}{16}$

Hence, the pebbles are required to cover the entire garden is $\frac{15}{16}$.
