Step-by-step explanation:
1=4/4
1/4 corn+1/4 beans+1/4 potatoes= 3/4 used up space
4/4-3/4=
1/4
Option C [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
ANSWER:
Jack's father has a garden in the backyard. [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] portion of the garden is left.
SOLUTION:
Given, Jack's father has a garden in the backyard.
He planted [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] in corn, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] in beans and [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] in potatoes.
Let, the remaining portion of the garden be x.
And we have to consider the whole garden as one unit.
Then, garden area = area with corn + area with beans + area with potatoes + left over area.
[tex]$1=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+x$[/tex]
[tex]$1=\frac{1+1+1}{4}+x$[/tex]
[tex]$1=\frac{3}{4}+x$[/tex]
[tex]$x=1-\frac{3}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{4-3}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{4}$[/tex]
Hence, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] portion of the garden is left.
