Question

Paige was planting a garden. She planted 1/3 of her garden with roses, 3/6 of her garden with daisies and the rest of the garden with tulips. What fraction of the garden was tulips?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of flowers planted be 1

Given

Number of roses = 1/3

Fraction of daises = 3/6

Required

Fraction of tullips

Fraction of tullips = 1-(1/3+3/6)

Fraction of tullips = 1-(2+3/6)

Fraction of tullips = 1-5/6

Fraction of tullips = 1/6

Hence the fraction of tulip left is 1/6
