Answer:
3/20
Question:
A farmer plants corn in 1/4 of his field. He plants white corn in 3/5 of the corn
section of his field. This situation is shown in the model. What fraction of the whole field is planted with white corn
Step-by-step explanation:
Portion of the field planted with corn = 1/4
Total corn planted = 1/4 of field
Portion of the corn section planted with white corn = 3/5
Total white corn planted = 3/5 of corn section
We need to find the portion of the total field planted with white corn
The fraction of the whole field planted with white corn would be the product of the fraction of Total corn planted and fraction of Total white corn planted
= 1/4 × 3/5
= 3/20
The fraction of the whole field planted with white corn = 3/20
