notsponge [240]

The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Plant food = 3 1/2 kg

Plant food used on Strawberry Plants = 1 2/3 kg

Plant food used on tomato Plants = 1/4 kg

We will first calculate the total food plant used and then subtract the used plant food from the total plant food.

So,

$Total\ Plant\ Food\ used=1\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{20+3}{12}\\=\frac{23}{12}$

Now,

$Left\ Food\ Plant=3\frac{1}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{42-23}{12}\\=\frac{19}{12}\\=1\frac{7}{12}$

The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg

3 & 6 - LCM = 3. 3's multiples are 3, 6, 9,12, 16, etc. 6's multiples are 6, 12, 18, etc. therefore, the least common multiple is 6.
GCF - 3's factors are 1, 3, and 6's factors 1, 2, 3. so the greatest common factor is 3.
