Suzy uses a bucket to water her plants. A bucket can hold 1 liter of water. Suzy uses three buckets to water 12 plants. How much water in cubic centimeters are given to each plant?

The amount of water given to each plant is 250 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have;

Volume of water in a bucket = 1 liter

Number of buckets of water to water 12 plants = 3 buckets

Therefore, volume of water to water 12 plants = 3 liters

Since 3 liters of water is given to 12 plants, therefore, dividing the 3 liters by 12 and the 12 plants also by 12, we get

3/12 liters of water is given to 12/12 plants or

1/4 liter of water is given to 1 plants

Therefore, the amount of water given to each plant is 1/4 liters

We require our answer in cubic centimetres so we have

1 liter = 1000 cm³

1/4 liter = 1000/4 cm³ = 250 cm³

Therefore, the amount of water given to each plant = 250 cm³.

250 cubic centimeters of water

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the volume of water in cubic centimeters given to each of the plants.

The total volume of water is 3 * 1 = 3 liters of water

Now 12 plants was watered, this means the amount of water used on each plant would be 3/12 = 0.25 liters

Answer is wanted in cubic centimeters. This means that we will have to convert.

Mathematically;

1L = 1000 cubic centimeters

0.25 L is thus 0.25 * 1,000 = 250 cubic centimeters
