RoseMograRoseMarigoldJasmine
Idha’s revised plan. The garden is in 5 equal strips.
The garden has 5 equal strips
Marigold is planted in 1 strip
1 strip out of 5 = 1/5
Why it happens: All five strips are the same size, so one strip is one-fifth of the whole garden.
Q2.
Jasmine in _____________ part of the garden.
Answer

Jasmine is in 1/5 (one-fifth) part of the garden.

RoseMograRoseMarigoldJasmine
Idha’s revised plan. The garden is in 5 equal strips.
5 equal strips in all
Jasmine is in 1 strip
So Jasmine has 1/5 of the garden
Why it happens: Jasmine, Mogra and Marigold each take one strip, so each of them has one-fifth. Rose takes two strips, which is 2/5.
Check it yourself: 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 2/5 = 5/5, the whole garden.
Q3.
Mogra in _____________ part.

The garden now has Rose in three strips.
The garden still has 5 equal strips
Mogra is in 1 strip → 1/5
Why it happens: Even though Rose has spread to three strips, the garden is still cut into the same five equal strips, so one strip is still one-fifth.
Q4.
Marigold in _____________ part.
Answer

Marigold is in 1/5 (one-fifth) part of the garden.

RoseMograRoseMarigoldRose
The garden with Rose in three strips, Mogra in one and Marigold in one.
Mogra ……… 1/5
Marigold …… 1/5
Rose ………… 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
1/5 + 1/5 + 3/5 = 5/5 = the whole garden
Why it happens: Every strip is one-fifth, so we just count how many strips each flower has.
Q5.

RoseRoseRoseMarigoldRose
The garden with Rose in four strips and Marigold in one strip.
Rose …… 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 4/5
Marigold … 1/5
4/5 + 1/5 = 5/5 = the whole garden

In the last picture Rose fills all five strips, which is 5/5 — the complete garden.
Why it happens: When all five of the five equal strips are used, we write 5/5, and that is one whole garden.
