Answer 1

When bucket is 32% full,it weighs 14.4 pounds.

Explanation:

A bucket is filled with soil and we measure the weight of soil in it.

When the bucket is 100% full ,weight of soil in the bucket=45 pounds.

We have to find weight of soil in the bucket when the bucket is 32% full.

The weight when bucket is 32% full=32% of total weight

The weight when bucket is 32% full=
`(32*45)/(100)`

The weight when bucket is 32% full=14.4pounds
