Answer 1

2/3 of bucket = 1 min
for whole = 3×1÷2
= 1.5 min

Answer 2

Given:

Two-thirds of a bucket is filled in one minute.

To Find:

The time that will be taken to fill the entire bucket is?

Solution:

1. The time taken to fill the bucket to the two-third level is 1 minute.

2. Considering the bucket as one whole unit,

=> Time taken to fill the bucket by two-thirds level = 1 minute,

3.  If filling to the 2/3rd level of the bucket takes 1 minute. Then,

=> To fill the bucket it takes 1 x ( 3/2 ) minutes,

=> To fill the bucket fully it takes (3/2) minutes,

=> Total time taken to fill the bucket fully is 1.5 minutes.

Therefore, it takes a time of 1.5 minutes to fill the bucket to the complete level.
