Question

Karen will divide her garden into equal parts, she will plant corn in 16/20 of the garden. What is the fewest number of parts she can divide her garden into

Answer 1

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden is divided into 20 parts.

Karen will plant corn on 16/20 of the garden (or 4/5 of the garden, if both the numerator and denominator are divided by 4).

Therefore, the fewest number of parts she can divide her garden into is 5. She will plant corn on 4/5 of the garden and the other 1/5 of the garden will not be planted with corn.
