Since we need 4/3 liters of water to water 2/5 of the plants in the house, then we need

$(4)/(3)/(2)/(5)\text{.}$

of water to water all the plants.

Recall that:

$((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(ad)/(bc)\text{.}$

Therefore:

$((4)/(3))/((2)/(5))=(4*5)/(3*2)\text{.}$

Simplifying the above result, we get:

$(20)/(6)=(10)/(3)\text{.}$

Answer:

$(10)/(3)\text{ liters.}$
