    They carried 3 10-lb bags.

    Giovanni's bag was 5/6 full, so 1/6 of that bag was used.

    Frances' bag was 2/5 full, so 3/5 of that bag was used.

    The dad's bag was 3/4 full, so 1/4 of that bag was used.

    Soil put in first flower bed was

    1/6 * 10 + 3/5 * 10 + 1/4 * 10 =

    = (1/6 + 3/5 + 1/4) * 10

    = (10/60 + 36/60 + 15/60) * 10

    = 61/60 * 10

    = (1 1/60) * 10

    = 10 10/60

    = 10 1/6

    Answer: The put in 10 1/6 lb of soil.
