Question

a tub can hold 4 times as much water as in a bucket. if the total capacity of a tub and bucket is 3l 500ml, what is the capacity of the bucket

Answer 1

Answer:

Capacity of tube= 25,200ml

Capacity of bucket=6300ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of-

Tube+Bucket= 31,500ml

Capacity of tube is 4 times than the bucket so, the ratio is 4:1

now,

Sum of the ratio = 4+1= 5

Capacity of tube= 31,500ml×4/5

=25,200ml

Capacity of Bucket= 31,500ml - 25,200ml

=6300ml
