Answer:

3 times.

Explanation:

Allow me to revise your question for a better understanding.

Gus has a fish tank that holds 4710 inches^3 cubed of water. He is using a cylinder shaped bucket with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 20 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.

Here is my answer:

Given:

Fish tank volume: 4710 inches^3

Cylinder shaped bucket :

  • Radius r = 5 inch
  • Height = 20 inches

So we need to find the volume of the Cylinder shaped bucket :

V = π
r^(2)h

= 3.14*
5^(2) *20 = 1570 inches^3

From the question we know that Gus uses the bucket to fill in the tank, so the numbers of time he needs to fill the bucket to completely fill the fish tank is:


(Volume of the tank )/(Volume of the bucket) =
(4710)/(1570) = 3 times.

Hope it will find you well.
