Answer 2

Answer: The
`(1)/(12)` part of fence is painted.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that we have a 32-foot fence around a square garden. There are 4 equal sections. You paint 1/3 of one section of the fence.

Since the fence divided in 4 equal parts, therefore the value of one section in fraction is
`(1)/(4)`.

After that we paint
`(1)/(3)` of the one section.

Since one section is equal to
`(1)/(4)`, therefore
`(1)/(3)` of the one section
`(1)/(4)` is,

`(1)/(4) * (1)/(3)=(1)/(12)`

Therefore, the
`(1)/(12)` part of fence is painted.
