Question

A gardener found that he was able to plant 1/4 of a packet of flower seeds in 1/5 of a garden.At this rate how much of the garden would he cover with the entire packet of seeds

Answer 1

Answer:
`(4)/(5)` of garden.

Explanation:

Given: The area covered by
`(1)/(4)` of a packet of flower seeds=
`(1)/(5)` of a garden.

The area covered in 1 packet=
`4*(1)/(5)`

⇒The area covered in 1 packet=
`(4)/(5)` of garden.

Thus, the entire packet of seeds would cover
`(4)/(5)` of garden.
