Anitha had a vegetable garden which was rectangular shape. It was divided into four equal parts. In one part she planted brinjal, another part she planted pumpkin and in the remaining two parts she planted ladies finger.
She used all the 4 equal parts. Which means 1 whole.
The portion of brinjal planted out of the whole = \( \frac{1}{4} \), we call this as 'quarter' or 'one−fourth'.
The portion of Pumpkin planted out of the whole = \( \frac{1}{4} \), we call this as 'quarter' or 'one−fourth'.
The portion of Pumpkin and brinjal planted out of the whole = \( \frac{1}{2} \), we call this as 'half'.
The portion of Ladies finger and Pumpkin planted out of the whole = \( \frac{3}{4} \), this is called as three fourth.
