17/24 kg fertilizer was used for flower bed
Step-by-step explanation:
We will subtract the amount remaining from the total amount of fertilizer to get the fertilizer used for flower bed.
Given
[tex]Total\ fertilizer = 1\frac{3}{8}\\Remaining\ fertilizer = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
So,
Let x be the fertilizer used for flower bed
[tex]x=1\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{3}\\=\frac{11}{8}-\frac{2}{3}\\=\frac{33-16}{24}\\=\frac{17}{24}[/tex]
Hence,
17/24 kg fertilizer was used for flower bed
