Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Trygg has package of marigold seeds=$\frac{3}{4}$

He plants  seeds in garden=$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

Remaining seeds=$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$

He divide remaining seeds equally into 10 flower pots.

We have to determine the fraction of a package of seeds is planted in each flower pot.

Seeds in each pot=$\frac{\frac{5}{8}}{10}=\frac{1}{16}$

Hence, seeds planted in each pot=$\frac{1}{16}$
