Sagot :

It is given that one-half of a property is mowed, the rest is left wild, and then one-fifth of the wild area is used for a garden. It is required to calculate the fraction used for the garden.

Since one half of the property was mowed, the fraction left wild is:

[tex]1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

One-fifth of the wild area is used for vegetable garden. Since 'of' means multiplication, it follows that the fraction used for the garden is:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}\; of\; \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

A pictorial representation is shown below:

The required fraction used for the garden is 1/10.
