Ok so you know the first garden needs 1 and 2/5 bags of soil. Now first we need to find one fifth of that. So let's make this mied number into an improper fraction:

1 2/5 = 7/5

Ok now let's divide 7/5 by 5:

7/5 divided by 5/1 = 7/25

So Jared will need 7/25 bags of soil for his second garden, but we're STILL not done. now we have to add for the TOTAL.

1 2/5 + 7/25 > 7/5 + 7/25 > 7 x 5 = 35 > 35/25 + 7/25 = 42/25
_________
5x 5 = 25

Now let's simplify it to 1 and 17/25
