Question

Megan wants to fill a bucket with water. The bucket holds 6 liters. Her jug holds 500 milliliters. How many jugs of water does Megan need to use in order to fill the empty bucket?

Answer 1

capacity of bucket to hold water = 6liters or 6000 milliliters

capacity of jug= 500 milliliters

numbers of jug need to use in order to fill the empty bucket= 6000/500

=12 jugs of water

Answer 2

12 jugs

Explanation:

What are units?

A unit can be used for measurement and is commonly found in mathematics to describe length, size, etc.

Let's get to know these units.

• 1 milliliter = 0.001 liter

• 1 liter = 1000 milliliter

To convert 6 liters into milliliters, we can use this equation:

• 6 × 1000 = 6000

Therefore, the empty bucket can hold 6000 milliliters.

To solve for the number of jugs Megan will need, we can use this equation:

• amount of ml total ÷ how much ml each jug contains = number of jugs needed

• 6000 ÷ 500 = 12

Therefore, to fill the bucket, Megan will need 12 jugs.
