Kylan had 1 ⅜ kilograms of fertilizer. He used some to fertilize a flower bed, and he only had ⅔ kilograms left. How much fertilizer was used in the flower bed?

17/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the fertilizer used in the flower bed

to find how much he has left

1 3/8 - x = 2/3

the fraction 1 3/8 we can write as 11/8

11/8 - x = 2/3

11/8 -2/3= x

we need the common denominator between 8 and 3, which is 24

33/24-16/24=17/24

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
