In a garden, 7-eighths of the items are vegetables. Only 3-fifths of the vegetables are carrots.
Question
What fraction of the garden is made up of carrots?
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.
