Amos is painting his pots. He needs 
 
\[\dfrac{1}{4}\] of a liter to paint all four pots.
How much paint will he need for each of his 
\[4\] pots if he uses the same amount of paint on each?
 of a liter

To determine how much paint Amos will need for each pot, given that he uses \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) of a liter to paint all four pots, we divide the total amount of paint by the number of pots:

\[
\text{Paint per pot} = \dfrac{1}{4} \div 4
\]

Dividing by 4 is the same as multiplying by \(\dfrac{1}{4}\):

\[
\text{Paint per pot} = \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{16}
\]

So, Amos will need \(\dfrac{1}{16}\) of a liter of paint for each pot.
