Question

A swimming pool holds 28,401 gallons of water. How many 0.8-gallon buckets could be filled using the water from the swimming pool?

Answer 1

35501

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of Pool = 28,401 gallon

Volume of Bucket = 0.8 gallon

Required

How many buckets can fill the pool

To do this, we simply divide the volume of the pool by the bucket;

`Number = (Pool\ Volume)/(Bucket\ Volume)`

Substitute values for both volume

`Number = (28401)/(0.8)`

`Number = 35501.25`

`Number = 35501` (Approximated)

Hence, 35501 buckets are required to fill the pool
