On Sunday, Sheldon bought 4 1 2 kg of plant food. He used 1 2 3 kg on his strawberry plants and used 1 4 kg for his tomato plants. How many kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left? Write one or more equations to show how you reached your answer.

2 1/2kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of plant food bought = 4 1/2kg

Amount used on strawberry plant = 1 2/3kg

Amount used on tomato plant = 1/4kg

Therefore, the amount used will be:

= 1 2/3 + 1/4

= 1 8/12 + 3/12

= 1 11/12kg

We then subtract the value gotten from the amount bought. This will be:

= 4 1/2 - 1 11/12

= 4 6/12 - 1 11/12

= 2 6/12

= 2 1/2kg

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

i would pic false cause it goes down towards negative
