Answer:


29.25\text{ liters}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the amount of water the bucket can hold when full

Let us have the volume as x liters

Mathematically:


\begin{gathered} (8)/(9)* x\text{ = 26} \\ \\ 8x\text{ = 9 }*\text{ 26} \\ x=\text{ }(9*26)/(8) \\ \\ x\text{ = 29.25 liters} \end{gathered}
