To find the fraction of Emma's garden that is planted with vegetables, we need to add up the fractions representing the beans, the piece, and the corn, and then subtract that from 1 (since the rest is planted with flowers).
The fraction of the garden planted with beans is 1/5.
The fraction of the garden planted with piece (I assume you mean peas) is 1/8.
The fraction of the garden planted with corn is 1/2.
Adding up these fractions: 1/5 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 8/40 + 5/40 + 20/40 = 33/40.
To find the fraction of Emma's garden planted with vegetables, we subtract this result from 1: 1 - 33/40 = 7/40.
Therefore, the fraction of Emma's garden planted with vegetables is 7/40.
