If a litre of water is provided for 5 people, how much for 7 people?
1 litre = 1000 millilitre
1000 ml = 5 people
x (ml) = 7 poeple
10007 = 5x
7000 = 5x
x = 1400 ml
x = 1.4 litre
Answer:
1.4 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
As the number of people increases, so does the litre of water required. Furthermore, as the number of people reduces, so does the litre of water required.
As such, the number of people is said to be directly proportional to the litres required.
Hence, If a litre of water is provided for 5 people, 7 people wil require
= 7/5 litres
= 1 2/5 litres
= 1.4 litres
