Anna's garden has an area of 48 square feet. She plants peas in 3/8 of the garden and herbs in 1/4 of it. The rest of her garden is planted with peppers . How many square feet of the garden are planted with peppers?



Answer :

Garden :48 square feet
Peas : 3/8
Herbs : 1/4
You can do it in 2 ways.
1st way :
3/8 of 48 = 18
1/4 of 48 = 12
48 - 18 - 12 = 18

2nd way :
1 - 3/8 - 1/4 = 1 - 3/8 - 2/8 = 3/8
3/8 of 48 = 18.

Nonetheless, the answer would be 18.
