Sagot :

Answer:

1 11/24 pounds left

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, find the common denominators of the fraction to add them.

A common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.

So, 5*4 = 20  6*4 = 24

3 20/24 of potting soil initially

Then, 3*3 = 9   8*3 = 24

2 9/24 used

To find how many pounds are left:

3 20/24 - 2 9/24 = 1 11/24
