Jared used 1 2/5 bags of soil for his garden. He is digging another garden that will need 1/5 as much soil as the original. How much will he use total? Is the answer 1 17/25 ?

1/5 * 7/5 = 7/25

7/25 + 7/5 (need common denominator)

7/25 + 35/25 = 42/25 = 1 17/25

Yes

To find out how much soil Jared will use in total, we first need to calculate how much soil he used for the second garden and then add it to the amount used for the first garden.

Jared used 1 2/5 bags of soil for his original garden.

To calculate the amount of soil used for the second garden, which is 1/5 as much as the original garden, we need to multiply the amount used for the original garden by 1/5:

1 2/5 * 1/5 = (1 + 2/5) * 1/5 = (5/5 + 2/5) * 1/5 = 7/5 * 1/5 = 7/25

Therefore, Jared will use 7/25 bags of soil for the second garden.

To find the total amount of soil used, we need to add the soil used for the first and second gardens:

1 2/5 + 7/25 = (5/5 + 2/5) + 7/25 = (25/25 + 10/25) + 7/25 = 35/25 = 1 10/25 = 1 2/5

The total amount of soil used by Jared is 1 2/5 bags.

Therefore, the answer is not 1 17/25, but rather 1 2/5.

Jared used 1 2/5 bage of soil for his garden. He is digging another garden that will need 1/5 as much soil as the original. How much will he use total

4/7 x 1 1/4 =

1 17/25
