Answer 1

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: To find out what fraction of Cathy's garden is planted with red flowers, we need to multiply the fraction of the garden planted with flowers (5/6) by the fraction of the flowers that are red (3/10).

First, let's multiply the numerators together: 5 * 3 = 15.

Next, let's multiply the denominators together: 6 * 10 = 60.

So, the fraction of Cathy's garden that is planted with red flowers is 15/60.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 15. When we do that, we get:

15 ÷ 15 = 1

60 ÷ 15 = 4

Therefore, the simplified fraction is 1/4.

In conclusion, 1/4 of Cathy's garden is planted with red flowers.
