Answer:

Sheldon had 2 7/12 kg left

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/4 - 1 2/3 = 3 1/4 - 2/3

                   = 3 3/12 - 8/12

                   = 2 15/12 - 8/12

                   = 2 7/12

The amount of plant food left after the complete utility is 65/4 kg

Given data:

The amount of plant food bought by Sheldon is, X = 41/2 kg.

Amount of plant food used for the strawberry plantation is, x= 12/3 kg.

Amount of plant food used for the tomato planation is, y = 1/4 kg.

Let z be the amount of plant food left after the complete utility. Then, the equation is given as,

z = X - x - y

Solving as,

[tex]z = \dfrac{41}{2} - \dfrac{12}{3} -\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\z= \dfrac{82-16-1}{4} \\z=\dfrac{65}{4}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the amount of plant food left after the complete utility is 65/4 kg.
