Solution

Correct Answer:

1.5

  1. Total Rate: Calculate the total amount of water transpired by the entire plant per hour.
    • .
  2. Per Leaf Rate: Since the water is lost through 3 leaves equally, divide the total hourly rate by the number of leaves.
    • .
  3. Conclusion: On average, each leaf loses of water every hour.
