Maren ordered 4 bags of soil for her raised flower gardens. Each garden needs three-fourths (3/4) of a bag of soil. How many gardens can she fill completely with soil? How much soil does she have left? how can picture in this​
we have that
Each garden needs three-fourths (3/4) of a bag of soil.
so
Find out how many gardens , if you have 4 bags of soli
Applying proportion
1/(3/4)=x/4
solve for x
x=(1/(3/4))*4
x=(4/3)*4
x=16/3 gardens
convert to mixed number
16/3=15/3+1/3=5+1/3=5 1/3 gardens
therefore
She can fill completely 5 gardens
she left
5*(3/4)=15/4 bags=3.75 bags
4-3.75=0.25 bags or 1/4 bags
therefore
left 1/4 bag
