Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] of a bag of soil
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Mariah had [tex]2\frac{2}{4}[/tex] bags of soil to use in her garden. After her gardening, she had [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a bag left
To find: quantity of soil used.
Solution:
Quantity of soil in the garden = [tex]2\frac{2}{4}=\frac{10}{4}[/tex] bags of soil
Quantity of soil left = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a bag
Quantity of soil used [tex]=\frac{10}{4}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}[/tex] of a bag of soil.
