Question

students planted 6 equal-size gardens, they divided each garden into 3 equal sections and planted herbs in 2 of the 3 sections, what fraction of the gardens did the students plant with herbs? Shouldn't it be 2/6?

Answer 1

For all the garden subdivisions, 2 of 3 sections were planted. So, 2/3 of the garden space was planted.

There were a lot of words there, obfuscating the simplicity of the problem. Now, if only some of the divided gardens had been planted, that would have changed things.

Answer 2

Answer
12/18

Answer 3

Total sections is 6 by 3 equal 18 and 2/3 from 18 is 12/18

Answer 4

2/6
