Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so they all started out with a 10 lb bag..

if giovanna's bag was 5/8 full, then she used 3/8 of it....

3/8 * 10 = 30/8 = 3.75 lbs

if francis' bag was 2/5 full, then she used 3/5 of it...

3/5 * 10 = 30/5 = 6 lbs

if the dad's bag was 3/4 full, then he used 1/4 of it..

1/4 * 10 = 10/4 = 2.5 lbs

so the soil in flower bed 1 adds up to : (3.75 + 6 + 2.5) = 12.25 or 12 1/4 lbs of soil
