Answer:

5/12

Explanation:

We know

A park has 1/3 of its space as a playground and 1/4 of its space as a

water park.

We have to find the total by taking

1/3 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12

So, 7/12 of its spaces is used.

How much area is left as green space?

We take

12/12 - 7/12 = 5/12

So, the 5/12 area is left as green space.
