Q. Vito uses

9

liters of water to water

24

flower pots. He is wondering how many liters of water

(w)

it would take to water

40

flower pots. He assumes he'll use the same amount of water on each pot.

\newline

How many liters of water does it take to water

40

flower pots?

\newline

liters

Determine Water per Pot: Determine the amount of water used per flower pot. $\newline$ To find out how much water is used for each pot, we divide the total amount of water by the number of pots. $\newline$ Calculation: $9 \, \text{liters} / 24 \, \text{pots} = 0.375 \, \text{liters per pot}$
Calculate Total for $40$ Pots: Calculate the total amount of water needed for $40$ pots. $\newline$ Now that we know the amount of water used per pot, we can multiply this by the number of pots to find the total amount of water needed. $\newline$ Calculation: $0.375$ liters per pot $*$ $40$ pots = $15$ liters
