To find the answer, we just have to look for the complement fraction of 9/10, which is found by subtracting from 1
![1-(9)/(10)=(1)/(10)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ouus2itb6ikibq8g2ss20lrbauz7jlatkd.png)
Hence, the energy passed to a cow is 1/10.
Observe that the complement of 9/10 is the answer because that's the amount of energy that stays in the plant.
