Kyla Diaz · Answer 1

3/4 of the garden is veggies

1/6 of the veggies are carrots

3/4 x 1/6 = 3/24 = 1/8

1/8 of the whole garden is carrots

Mylie Carey · Answer 2

3/4 of the area for vegetables, and 1/6 of its area is carrots.

So,

3/4 x 1/6 = 3/24

Simplify 3/24 by 3 will be

1/8

1/8 of the area of the garden is covered by carrots
