Answer 1

The answer to your question is a) 4/12 b) 5/12

Explanation:

Data

Lettuce = 1/12

Carrots = 3/12

Corn = 4/12

Red radishes = ?

a)

The total of the garden is 12/12

Red radishes = 12/12 - 1/12 - 3/12 - 4/12

= 12/12 - 8/12

= 4/12

4/12 of the garden are red radishes.

b)

Corn of lettuce = 1/12 + 4/12

= 5/12

5/12 of the garden are corn or lettuce.
