3/4 of a ton means 3/4 of 2,000 pounds (because 1 ton = 2000 pounds.)
3/4 of 2000 = 1500
because:    3          x
                 ---- =    ----
                   4        2,000

4x = 6,000
  x = 1,500
Then, 1,500 pounds divided by 5 flower beds means 1500/5 = 300 lbs.
or how many tons per flower bed?
.75 / 5
.15
