Respuesta :

The answer to your question is 3/5

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Trygg has package of marigold seeds=[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

He plants  seeds in garden=[tex]\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Remaining seeds=[tex]\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

He divide remaining seeds equally into 10 flower pots.

We have to determine the fraction of a package of seeds is planted in each flower pot.

Seeds in each pot=[tex]\frac{\frac{5}{8}}{10}=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Hence, seeds planted in each pot=[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
