 Romeo grows flowering plants on 3/4
of his plot of land. One-fifth of the planted
area is for the roses. What fraction of his
plot of land is used for growing roses?
To find the fraction of Romeo’s plot of
land used for growing roses,
we multiply 1/5 by 3/4.
 Method 1

3/4

1/5 of 3/4 is 3/20

 METHOD 2

Multiply 1/5 by 3/4.

Solution: Multiply both the numerators and both the
denominators. Express the answer in simplest form if
necessary.
• 1/5 x 3/4= 1 x 35 x 4= 3/20
• Therefore, Romeo’s plot of land used for growing roses
is 320.
