Isabella's mother has a garden with a total area of 10 2 3 square feet. She plans her planting season like this: 1 4 of the garden will be used for planting peas. And, 3 4 of the garden will be used for planting corn. Part A Calculate the area used for planting peas, and then calculate the area used for planting corn

Respuesta :

She will use 2 2/3 sq ft for peas and 8 sq ft for corn.

(10 2/3)(1/4):

Make the mixed number an improper fraction; multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator:
32/3(1/4)

Multiply straight across:
32/12

12 will go into 32 2 times with 8 left over:
2 8/12

8/12 reduces to 2/3:
2 2/3

(10 2/3)(3/4)
32/3(3/4) [same process as above]
96/12 = 8
