Question

a bucket hold b liters of water, but a jar holds 8fewr liters than the bucket. how many times more water can the bucket hold than the jar?

Answer 1

To find how many times more water the bucket can hold than the jar, divide the bucket's capacity by the jar's capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bucket holds b liters of water, and the jar holds 8 fewer liters than the bucket. To find out how many times more water the bucket can hold than the jar, we need to compare their capacities. \

The bucket's capacity is b liters, and the jar's capacity is b - 8 liters.

To find the ratio of the bucket's capacity to the jar's capacity, we divide the bucket's capacity by the jar's capacity:

1. b / (b - 8)

This ratio represents how many times more water the bucket can hold than the jar.
