document.write( "I believe that the question is saying that 1/4 of the vegetable plants area is tomatoes...and since 1/2 of the garden is vegetable plants...then to find out how much of the ENTIRE garden is tomatoes you need to multiply 1/4 by 1/2...which is 1/8.  I hope that helped. That question is worded poorly so don't feel bad. </SPAN>\n" );
