A farmer divided his field in three parts
a). On half of his field he grew wheat
b) of the remaining half he used one-third to grow rice and the rest to grow vegetables
What fraction of the field is used to
a) Grow rice
b) Grow vegetables

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)Rice => 1/4

b) Vegetables => 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the farmers field was in a square shape. Now divide this square into 4 parts.

Now, each part is 1/4

So, half of his field is for wheat cultivation, i.e., 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

So, the other half is for rice and vegetables

2 vegetables have to be grown on the other half

So,

Fraction of field required for growing rice = 1/4

Fraction of field required for growing vegetables = 1/4
