document.write( "Question 886761: 12 buckets are needed to fill a tank of capacity 33L. If the capacity of the bucket reduces to 2/3 of it, how many buckets of water are needed to fill the tank? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #536128 by Tanzina ahamed(5)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think it can be done more easier way as follows: \n" ); document.write( "Let, the capacity of bucket is x L and \n" ); document.write( " the capacity of tank is y L. \n" ); document.write( "Then, y/x=12.....(1) \n" ); document.write( "now the capacity of smaller bucket should be 2x/3. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the number of buckets needed are y/(2x/3)=3y/2x \n" ); document.write( "from eqn (1).......we get 3*12/2=18 buckets \n" ); document.write( " |
