The Garden should be divided into 3 equal parts.
Given:
[tex]Corns~to~be~planted = \cfrac{8}{12}[/tex]
To Find:
Fewest Number of parts of the garden.
Solution:
The fraction given of the garden in the question represents that out of the 12 parts 8 will be cropped with corn.
So, by simplifying it we will get the least part of the division to be done.
[tex]=\cfrac{8}{12} \\=\cfrac{4}{6} \\=\cfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
As the given fraction can not be simplified further.
Hence the garden should be divided into three equal parts.
