Answer:

1/5 of the farmers land has potatoes and pea plants growing on it

Step-by-step explanation:

so we are trying to figure out how much of the land is covered in potatoes and pea plants together so we add their fractions together

1/36 + 5/36 = 6/36

we then simplify the fraction by dividing both numbers by 6 since 6 can go equally within the fraction:

6/36 divided by 6  = 1/5

so 1/5 of his land is covered by potatoes and pea plants
