Respuesta :

Answer:

The white corn section covers [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex] of the whole field.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement indicates that section of the white corn is a portion within the corn section of the field. The statement can be interpreted as a multiplication of rational numbers. That is to say:

[tex]x = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 5}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{3}{20}[/tex]

The white corn section covers [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex] of the whole field.
