Respuesta :

Answer:52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

one-fifth of the plants in a garden are grape tomato plant

two-ninth of the plants in the garden are cherry tomato plants

Also there are 18 grape tomato and 20 cherry tomato plants.

Let Total plants be x

Then Grape tomato plants [tex]=\frac{x}{5}=18 [/tex]

x=90

thus there are total of 90 plants

also grape tomato+cherry tomato=18+20=38

Thus there are 90-38=52 remaining plants.
