Answer:
3 7/8 cups plants food
Step-by-step explanation:
peat moss = 3 ½ cups
compost = 5 ¼ cups
fertilizer = 6 ¾ cups
Total mixture = peat moss + compost + fertilizer
= 3 ½ cups + 5 ¼ cups + 6 ¾ cups
= 7/2 + 21/4 + 27/4
= 14+21+27/4
= 62/4
Total mixture = 62/4 cups
She evenly distributed the plant food among 4 rose bushes
Each rose bush uses = Total mixture / number of rose bushes
= 62/4 ÷ 4
= 62/4 × 1/4
= 62/16
= 3 14/16
= 3 7/8 cups plants food
Each rose bush uses = 3 7/8 cups of plants food
