Question

гар POS You use 4 gallons of water on 30 plants in your garden. At that rate, how much water will it take to water 45 plants?

Answer 1

The answer is 6 gallons

Step by step explanation

rap POS use 4 gallons of water on 30 plants

Using this expression

Plants = rate x gallons of water used

rate = plants / gallons of water used

rate = 30 / 4

rate = 15\2

We can get the amount of gallons used for 45 plants using the same expression

since our new rate is 15/2

then, plants = rate x gallons of water used

new plants is 45 and rate is 15/2

gallons of water used = Plants / rate

gallons of water used = 45 divided by 15/2

gallons of water used = 45 x 2/15

gallons of water used = 90/15

gallons of water used is 6 gallons
