    Answer: 17/24

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let x be the fertilizer used in the flower bed

    to find how much he has left

    1 3/8 – x = 2/3

    the fraction 1 3/8 we can write as 11/8

    11/8 – x = 2/3

    11/8 -2/3= x

    we need the common denominator between 8 and 3, which is 24

    33/24-16/24=17/24
