Question

Russ plants seeds in 1/2 of his garden. If he planted sunflower seeds in 1/4 of that section what part of the total garden should grow sunflowers.

Answer 1

To find the part of the total garden that should grow sunflowers, we need to multiply the fractions:

1/2 (seeds planted in garden) * 1/4 (sunflower seeds in that section) = 1/8

Therefore, 1/8 of the total garden should grow sunflowers.
