Answer:
15 3-gallon buckets of water will fill the cistern
Explanation:
Eighteen 2.5- gallon buckets are needed to fill a cistern of water
This means, 2.5 gallon buckets in 18 places
2.5 gallons × 18 = 1 cistern of water
45 gallons = 1 cistern of water
How many 3-gallon buckets of water will fill the cistern.
Number of 3-gallon bucket in a cistern = Total gallons of bucket in one cistern / 3-gallon buckets
= 45 gallons / 3-gallon buckets
= 15
Number of 3-gallon bucket in a cistern = 15
15 3-gallon buckets of water will fill the cistern
