Question

Ramu's vegetable field has 9 equal parts. What vegetables does he grow?



(1) Which vegetable grows in the biggest part of his field? What part?
(2) On what part of the field does he grow potatoes?
(3) What part of the field is used to grow spinach? What part is used for brinjals?
(4) Now you write some questions by looking at this picture.

Answer 1

Ramu grows capsicum, brinjal, tomatoes, spinach and potatoes in his field.

1) Total number of parts of the vegetable field= 9
Ramu grows tomatoes in the biggest part of his field.
Part of field used for growing tomatoes = 3
Part of field used for growing tomatoes = $\frac{3}{9}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$

Ramu grows tomatoes in one-third of the field.

2) Part of field used for growing potatoes = 2
Total number of parts of the vegetable field = 9
Part of the field used for growing potatoes = $\frac{2}{9}$

So, Ramu grows potatoes in two-ninth part of the field.

3) Total number of parts of the vegetable field = 9
Number of parts used for growing spinach = 1
So, part of the field used for growing spinach = $\frac{1}{9}$

Number of parts of field used for growing brinjals = 2
So, part of the field used for growing brinjals = $\frac{2}{9}$

Thus, Ramu grows spinach and brinjals in one-ninth and two-ninth part of the field respectively.

4) (1) Which vegetables are grown in the least part of the field?
(2) What is the part of the field used to grow raddish and tomatoes together?
