In a science class students water a plant with the same amount of water each day for 28 consecutive days if the students use a total of 23.8 liters of water over 28 days how many liters did they use each day

The correct answer would be 0.85 liters.

It can be explained with the help of unit rate that is, when the rate is expressed as the quantity of 1 for example, 5 meter per second, 5 liters per day et cetera.

In this case, unit rate (liter per day) can be calculated by dividing the total amount of water used by total number of days.

Amount of water used in 28 days = 23.8 liters

The amount of water used in one day =

It comes out to be 0.85 liters per day or 850 milliliter per day.

They use 0.85 liters each day to water a plant

Comparison is an effort to compare two or more objects in terms of shape or size, or number  

Proportional Comparisons / Directly proportional are comparisons of two or more numbers where one number increases, the other numbers also increase at the same rate  

 Can be formulated

 so that if:  

 x = 2  

 then  

While the reversal value comparison / inversely proportional is the comparison of two or more numbers where one number increases, the other number decreases in value  

or when one value decreases at the same rate that the other increases  

Can be formulated  

so that if:  

 x = 2  

 then  

The students use a total of 23.8 liters of water over 28 days

we translate this sentence into equation, :

23.8 liters = 28 days

? liter = 1 day

we can make a comparison(Directly proportional)
