Question

a water tank has capicity of 685.5 l. How many buckets of equal capicity can be filled from tank if the capicity of each bucket is 5.5 l ?

Answer 1

approxi. 125 buckets

Answer 2

Capacity of tank = 685.5 L

Capacity of bucket = 5.5 L

Let the number of bucket that can be filled from tank = x.

5.5 * x = 685.5

x = 685.5 / 5.5

x = 124.63

As number of buckets can not be in decimal, so rounding off the answer to nearest whole number.

x = 125

Therefore, 125 buckets of equal capicity can be filled from tank.
