The side of the square-shaped vegetable garden is 6 m. Cucumbers were harvested from a quarter of the area, and tomatoes from the rest. From what area were tomatoes harvested?

1. Let’s calculate the area of the whole vegetable garden, which has the shape of a square:

6 ^ 2 = 36 m ^ 2.

2. If cucumbers were harvested from a quarter of the area, and tomatoes were harvested from the rest of the area, then tomatoes were harvested from:

1 – 1/4 = 3/4 part.

3. The area from which the tomatoes were harvested is equal to:

36 x 3/4 = 36 x 3: 4 = 27 m ^ 2.

Answer: tomatoes were harvested from an area of 27 m ^ 2.
