Question

On Sunday, Sheldon bought 4 1/2 kg of plant food. He used 1 2/3 kg on his strawberry plants and used 1/4 kg for his tomato plants.

How many kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left?

Answer 1

Sheldon had 2 7/12 kg left

4 1/4 - 1 2/3 = 3 1/4 - 2/3

= 3 3/12 - 8/12

= 2 15/12 - 8/12

= 2 7/12

Hope this helps! have an amazing day :)
