1. Calculate the fraction of the land used to plant vegetables:

\frac{3}{4}

2. Determine the fraction of the vegetable section that will be used for lettuce:

\frac{1}{5}

3. Multiply these fractions to find the total part of the land used for lettuce:

\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 5} = \frac{3}{20}

Answer:

\frac{3}{20}
