mary plants roses in 1/4 of her garden. she also plants some tulips in her garden. she has 1/12 of her garden left to plant more flowers. what fraction of mary's garden has tulips

Answer 1

2/12

Answer 2

If 1/12 of her garden is left to plant "more" flowers, then
11/12 must have been used for the roses and the tulips
1/4 + x = 11/12
times 12
3 + 12x = 11
12x = 8
x = 8/12 = 2/3 <----- fraction of garden for tulips

check:
1/4 garden + 2/3 garden
= 11/12 garden

Answer 3
