Answer:
B.14.6
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, it is best to sketch out the scenario, to get a better understanding of the question. Please look at the image for reference.
Make point M anywhere between the N and O on the line NO.
Looking at the sketch, an equation can be made:
NM + MO = NO
Substituting the values for MO and NO:
NM + 12.3 = 26.9
NM = 26.9 - 12.3
NM = 14.6
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:
therefore, 10 gallons are needed to irrigate 35 plants.
Answer:
it will take 10 gallons to water 35 plants
