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.
