Question

If 4/3 liters of water is enough to water 2/5 of the plants in the house, how much water is needed to water all the plants in the house? Write an equation to represent the situation.

Answer 1

3 1/3

Explanation:

from the information given, we're informed that 4/3 liters of water are enough to water 2/5 of the plants in the house

therefore, the water required for the whole plant will be:

= 4/3 / 2/5

= 4/3 × 5/2

=3 1/3.
