Answer 1

Answer: It will hold 7.6 Litres

Explanation:

Step 1

We know that Converting Gallons to Litres, we have that

I gallon = 3.78541

So from the question

A large bucket = 5gallons which in Litres became

5 x 3.78541=18.927 rounded up to 19litres.

-- Also IF 5 Gallons = 19 Litres

Then 1 Gallon = 19/5= 3.8 Litres

Step 2

IF large bucket of 5 gallons = 19 Litres ,

A small bucket of 2 gallons of water = 2 x 19/5= 38/5 =7.6 Litres
