Given:
Total amount of plant food bought= 4½ kg
Amount used on strawberry = 1⅔ kg
Amount used on tomato plants = ⅙ kg
Amount left over = 2⅔ kg
Since he wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and tomato plants one more time, let's find the amount he will need.
[tex]\text{Amount n}eeded\text{= (}1\frac{2}{3}+1\frac{2}{3})+(\frac{1}{6})[/tex]Convert 1⅔ to improper fraction:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Total = }\frac{5}{3}+\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{6} \\ \\ \text{Total = }\frac{10+10+1}{6} \\ \\ \text{Total = }\frac{21}{6} \\ \\ \text{Total = }\frac{7}{2} \\ \\ \text{Total = 3}\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, he will need 3½ kg of plant food.
Since the amount of plant food left over (2⅔ kg) is less than the amount of plant food he will need (3½ kg), he does not have enough left to do so.
ANSWER:
He will need 3½ kg of plant food.
No, he does not have enough to do so.
