Question

In a garden 1/8 of the flowers are tulips 2/4 of the tulips are red what fraction of the flowers in the garden are red tulips

Answer 1

Explanation:

What we need to do is figure out the answer to, "1/2 of 1/8 is how many?" 2/4 reduces to 1/2. If 1/8 of the flowers are tulips, and 1/2 the tulips are red, then 1/2 * 1/8 is the number of red tulips, which is 1/16.
