Anna plants peas in 3/8 of her garden and herbs in 1/8 of it. she divides the rest of the garden into 6 sections. what fraction of the original garden is in each section?

To find this answer you will first subtract the two fractions from the original size of one whole garden. After that take the remaining amount and break it into six sections. This answer would represent the fraction of the original garden that is in each section. Here are the steps:
1. Add the two fractions together to get 4/8 or 1/2. This means that half of it is left.

2. Take the 1/2 that remains and divide it by 6 (1/2 divided by 6 = 1/2 x 1/6). The answer is 1/12.

3. 1/12 of the original garden is in each section.
