Answer 1

Answer:

$Amount = \frac{10}{3}L$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Water = \frac{4}{3}L$

$Plants = \frac{2}{5}$

Required

Amount of water for the whole plants

The amount of water for the whole plants is calculated as:

$Amount = \frac{Water}{Plants}$

This gives:

$Amount = \frac{4}{3}L/\frac{2}{5}$ --- The division equation

Convert division to multiplication

$Amount = \frac{4}{3}L*\frac{5}{2}$ --- The multiplication equation

Solving further:

$Amount = \frac{4*5}{3*2}L$

$Amount = \frac{20}{6}L$

Simplify:

$Amount = \frac{10}{3}L$
