One of the community service groups is going to plant a garden. 2/3 of the space will be used for vegetables. 1/4 of the vegetable space will be used for tomatos. what fraction of the garden will be used for tomatoes? draw a picture below.

1/6 of the vegetables space will be used for the tomatoes

1/12 of the Garden

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding fractions, the denominators need to be the exact same number. Therefore, you need to find the LCM. The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12, so all the denominators will be 12.

2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12

1/4 * 3/3 = 3/12

8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12

Now you need to subtract it from 1 (the garden).

12/12 - 11/12 = 1/12

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
