Answer:

He has 1 Β 7/12kg of plant food left.

Step-by-step explanation:

How much plant food did he use?

because:1 2/3 + 1/4

and than...5/3 + 1/4

20/12 + 3/12 = 23/12

How much does he have left?

3 1/2 - 23/12

7/2 - 23/12

42/12 - 23/12 = 19/12 = 1 7/12kg left

I hope this helps have a great day.
