Find the increased:
Increased in water = 2/3 - 1/2 = 1/6
increased in water = 11 - 10 = 1 kg
Find the weight of 1/2 bucket of water without the bucket:
1/6 of the water = 1 kg
3/6 of the water = 1 x 3 - 3 kg
Find the weight of the water when it is full:
Weight of the bucket when it is full = 10 + 3 = 13 kg
Answer: The weight is 13 kg.
