To determine the part of your garden that has both red and white flowers, we need to calculate the intersection of the areas where red and white flowers are planted.
The fraction of your garden with red flowers is 0.6, therefore the fraction of your garden without red flowers is 1 - 0.6 = 0.4.
Out of the part with red flowers (0.6), she also planted white flowers in 0.5 of that area. Thus, the fraction of your garden with both red and white flowers is 0.6 * 0.5 = 0.3.
Therefore, 0.3 or 30% of your garden has both red and white flowers.
I planted red flowers in 0.6 of her
garden. I also planted yellow flowers in 0.4
of my garden. In 0.5 of the part with red
flowers she also planted white flowers. What
part of my garden has both red and
white flowers?
