Trygg has 3/4 package of marigold seeds. He plants 1/6 of those seeds in his garden and divides the rest equally into 10 flower pots. What fraction if a package of seeds is planted in each flower pot?
He divides the rest equally into 10 flowerpots. What is the rest? In order to know what "the rest" is, you must subtract 1/8 from 3/4. Find the common denominator of 4 and 8 which is 8. Multiple the numerator 3 * 2= 6 with a denominator of 8.
3/4 - 1/8 = 6/8 -1/8 = 5/8
5/8 is left to be divided equally into 10 flowerpots.
