Question

If the browns plant 3/16 tomatoes, 1/4 cabbage, and 3/8 peppers, what fraction of their gargantuas will be unplanted

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{16} \textrm{of the gargantuas will be unplanted}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Browns have planted 3/16 tomatoes, 1/4 cabbage and 3/8 peppers.

First lets find out the total fraction of planted.

$\frac{3}{16} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{8}$

Now taking LCD for 16,4 and 8 to add up the fraction.

∴ LCD is 16

Next adding the fraction,

$\frac{3\times 1+1\times 4+ 3\times 2}{16} = \frac{13}{16}$

∴ Total fraction of planted gargantuas is $\frac{13}{16}$

Lets take the size of gragantuas as ``1``

∴ To find the un planted fraction of gargantuas.

$(1- \textrm{Total fraction of planted part of gargantuas})$

=$1-\frac{13}{16}$

= $\frac{3}{16}$                                        

∴ 3/16 is the unplanted fraction of gargantuas.
