Answer:
(3)/(4)

Explanation:

In fraction, we consider natural number "1" as the whole part.

Given : A certain bag of potting soil is
(1)/(4) peat moss, and the rest is dirt .

Then , the part of dirt will be :-


1-(1)/(4)=(4-1)/(4)=(3)/(4)

Therefore, the part of bag is dirt
=(3)/(4) or three-fourth.
