Answer 1

27/12 KG

Explanation:

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 on his tomato plants. How many kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left?

41/2 - (12/3 + 1/4)

`1(2)/(3) + (1)/(4)`

`1(8 + 3)/(12)` = 1 11/12

`4(1)/(2) - 1(11)/(12)`

`3(6-11)/(12)` = 2 7/12
