Respuesta :

area of the rectangle

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{area}=\text{length}\times width \\ \text{area}=15\times10=150 \end{gathered}[/tex]

area of rectangle is 150 sq ft, therefore the probability that a seed lands in the garden is

[tex]\frac{area\text{ garden}}{area\text{ rectangle}}=\frac{120}{150}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

answer: 4/5
