Answer 1

`(1)/(4)r`

Explanation:

The amount of red pepper that Harvey has is r red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. What this means is that the number of orange pepper that Harvey has is one fourth the number of red peppers. Since the number of red pepper is r, therefore the number of orange pepper is given as:

Number of orange pepper =
`(1)/(4) \ of\ red\ pepper(r)`

`Number\ of\ orange\ pepper=(1)/(4)r`
