Question

Trygg has 3/4 package of marigold seeds. He plants 1/6 of those seeds in his garden and divides the rest equally into 10 flower pots. What fraction of a packege of seeds is planted in each flower pot? Show your work.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 3/5

Answer 2

`(1)/(16)`

Explanation:

We are given that

Trygg has package of marigold seeds=
`(3)/(4)`

He plants seeds in garden=
`(1)/(6)* (3)/(4)=(1)/(8)`

Remaining seeds=
`(3)/(4)-(1)/(8)=(5)/(8)`

He divide remaining seeds equally into 10 flower pots.

We have to determine the fraction of a package of seeds is planted in each flower pot.

Seeds in each pot=
`((5)/(8))/(10)=(1)/(16)`

Hence, seeds planted in each pot=
`(1)/(16)`
