Answer: 17.75 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
After putting soil in the first flower bed, Layla's bag was ⅝ full. The pound of soil will be: = 5/8 × 10 = 6.25 pounds
Eliana's bag was ⅖ full. The pound of soil will be: = 2/5 × 10 = 4 pounds
Nature's bag was ¾ full. The pound of soil will be: = 3/4 × 10 = 30/4 = 7.5 pounds
The number of pounds of soil that they put in the first flower bed altogether will be:
= 6.25 + 4 + 7.5
= 17.75 pounds
