Question

Anita grew a garden with 3/4 of the area for vegetables. In the vegetable section, 1/6 of the area is carrots. What fraction of the total garden is carrots?

Answer 1

3/4 of the garden is veggies
1/6 of the veggies are carrots

3/4 x 1/6 = 3/24 = 1/8

1/8 of the whole garden is carrots

Answer 2

3/4 of the area for vegetables, and 1/6 of its area is carrots.
So,
3/4 x 1/6 = 3/24
Simplify 3/24 by 3 will be
1/8
1/8 of the area of the garden is covered by carrots
