Answer:

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 = $\frac{23.8}{28}$

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

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

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

$\displaystyle \frac {x1} {y1} = \frac {x2} {y2}$

so that if:

x = 2

then

$\displaystyle y ={ \frac {y} {x} \times \: 2}$

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

$\displaystyle \frac {x1} {y2} = \frac {x2} {y1}$
