Question
What fraction of the garden is made up of carrots?

Answer 1

To find the fraction of the garden that is made up of carrots, we need to multiply the fraction of vegetables by the fraction of carrots.

Fraction of vegetables: 7/8
Fraction of carrots: 3/5

Multiplying these two fractions together:

(7/8) * (3/5) = (21/40)

Therefore, 21/40 of the garden is made up of carrots.
