Fawn plants 2/3 of the garden with vegetables. Her son plants the remainder of the garden. He decides to use 1/2 of his space to plant flowers and in the rest he plants herbs. What fraction of the entire garden is planted in flowers?

1/6th because he used half of a whole part. You just multiply the fraction by 2 and count how many parts are flowers in the whole garden afterward :)

Drawing it out helps too! Good luck!
