Mrs jenkins picked some tomatoes from her garden. she used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce. then she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. what fraction of the tomatoes did mrs jenkins use to make the salad?

Final answer is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mrs Jenkins picked some tomatoes from her garden. She used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce. Then she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. Now we need to find about what fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad.

Since she used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce.

Then remaining amount of tomatoes = 1- 5/9 = 9/9 -5/9 = 4/9

Then she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. So fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad = (4/9)(3/4)=12/36=1/3

Hence final answer is 1/3.

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.

answer: 2530
