Question

A school group is helping plant a new city garden. Today, they used 12 1/2 pounds

of potting soil and planted 2/5 of the garden. How many more pounds of potting soil will they need to finish the garden tomorrow?

Answer 1

They will need 13 more pounds because since in the sum 12 1/2 + 12 1/2 = 4/5 adding another 1/2 is 13 pounds

Hope this helps, let me know in the comments. :)

HAPPY LEARNING EVERYONE!!!
