Answer 1

There are 20 vegetable plants in garden.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of flowers = 60%

Percentage of vegetable = 40%

Number of plants in garden = 50

Number of vegetables in garden =

`40\% * \text{Number of plant}\\\\= (40)/(100)* 50\\\\= 20`

Number of flowers in garden =

`60\% * \text{Number of plant}\\\\= (60)/(100)* 50\\\\= 30`

Thus, there are 20 vegetable plants in garden.
