Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>
A landscaper needs 3 4/8 pounds of plant food. He has 1 1/4 pounds in his truck, and another 4/6 pound at his shop. How many more pounds of plant food does the landscaper need?
Let
x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper
we know that
The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed
so
The linear equation that represent this problem is

Convert mixed number to an improper fractions


Substitute in the expression above

solve for x
Multiply by (4*6) both sides to remove the fractions

Combine like terms left side

subtract 46 both sides


Divide by 24 both sides

simplify

Convert to mixed number
