1. A) ( let t be tomatoes) If Priya has 20 vegetables in her garden, and 2/5 of her garden are tomatoes, that would mean she has 8 tomatoes in her garden.

   If Priya has x vegetables in her garden, the equation would be:
   2/5 of x = t
   x ÷ 5 = 1/5
   1/5 x 2 = 2/5
   2/5 = t

   Apologies if it’s confusing, explaining isn’t my forte.

   Step-by-step explanation for Part-A:

   We know that:

   • 2/5 × vegetable garden = Number of tomatoes

   If Priya has 20 vegetables, she will have 20 × 2/5 tomatoes.

   • => 20 x 2/5
   • => 4 x 2
   • => 8 tomatoes

   If Priya has x vegetables, she will have x × 2/5 tomatoes.

   • x × 2/5
   • => 2x/5 tomatoes

   Step-by-step explanation for Part-B:

   We know that:

   • 2/5 × vegetable garden = Number of tomatoes

   If Priya has 6 tomatoes, she will have 6 ÷ 2/5 vegetables.

   • 6 ÷ 2/5 = vegetables
   • => 6 × 5/2 = vegetables
   • => 30/2 = vegetables
   • => 15 vegetables
