Sheldon used on strawberry plants  =1 2 kg

                                                               3

He used for tomato plants = 1 kg

                                              4 

Total plant food used (1 2  + 1 )kg

                                        3     4

                                   = ( + ) kg

                                         3     4

                                   =  20 + 3 kg

                                            12
