Question

The school water fountain can only fill 3/4 of a jug at a time. With this amount of water, Mr. Kern can water 3/8 of his plants. How much water will it take him to water all of his plants?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{3} \\ \frac{3}{8} = x \\ x = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{4}{3} \\ x = \frac{1}{2}$
