Question

If 4/3 liters of water are enough to water 2/5 of the plants in the house, how much water is necessary to water all the plants in the house? Write a multiplication equation and a division equation for the situation, then answer the question.

Answer 1

Explanation:

4/3 ÷ 2 = 2/3.

2/3 water waters 1/5 plants in the house.

2/3 x 5 = 10/3.

1/5 x 5 = 1.

10/3 = 3 1/3.

3 1/3 liters of water are needed to water all the plants in the house.
