Answer:

2/15

Explanation:

Sophie planted 1/5 of the garden lucas planted some too 2/3 still need seeds how much seeds did lucas plant

Let us represent the total number of seeds planted as = 1

Total number of seeds planted = Number of seeds( Sophie planted + Lucas planted + The number of seeds Lucas needs to plant)

Let the number of seeds Lucas needs to plant be represented by = x

1 = 1/5 + x + 2/3

x = 1 - (1/5 + 2/3)

Lowest Common Denominator = 15

x = 1 - (3 +10/15)

x = 1 - 13/15

x = 2/15

The number of seeds that Lucas planted = 2/15
