Question

Gus has a fish tank that holds 47104710 inches^3 3 of water. He is using a cylinder shaped bucket with a radius of 55 inches and a height of 2020 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 3.143.14 for \piπ.

Answer 1

Answer: 3 times.

Explanation:

Here, The Volume of the gas tank = 4710
`in^3`

While, The radius of the cylindrical shaped bucket = 5 in

And, Height of the cylindrical shaped bucket = 20 in

Therefore, The volume of the bucket =
`\pi * r^2* h`

= 3.14 × 5 × 5 × 20 = 1570

According to the question, cylinder shaped bucket is used to fill the tank.

Thus, The number of times the bucket will be used to fill the tank

= The Volume of the gas tank/ The volume of the bucket = 4710/1570 = 3

Therefore, The bucket will be used three times to fill the tank.
