You use 4 gallons of water on 14 plants in your garden.At this rate, how much water will it take to water 35 plants?
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
4 gallons --------------> 14 plants
x --------------------------> 35 plants
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
\(x = (\frac{35}{14}) * (4)
x = 10
\)
therefore, 10 gallons are needed to irrigate 35 plants.
Answer:
it will take 10 gallons to water 35 plants
