Gus has a fish tank that holds 4710 inches^3 of water. He is using a cylinder shaped with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 20 inches to fill the tank.
How many times will Gus need to fill the bucket to completely fill the fish tank if he doesn’t spill a drop? Use 3.14 for pi

For a cylinder, V=pi x r^2 x h
So the volume of the cylinder is about v = 3.14(5^2)20 = 1570 cubic inches.
Divide 4710 by that number and the answer I’d that Gus has to fill the bucket 3 times

Answer: Gus will need to fill the bucket 3 times in order to completely fill the fish tank.
Step-by-step explanation: This problem calls for the formula for the volume of a cylinder which is V=πr^2h.
First let's find the volume of one bucket. The bucket has a radius of 5 inches and height of 20 inches.
v=3.14 x 5^2 x 20
=3.14 x 25 x 20
=1570
To find out how many buckets it will take to fill the tank, we can divide the total volume of the fish tank by the volume of each full bucket.
4710/1570 = 3
