Question 577072: An aquarium worker needs to fill a tank with 10 gallons of water.He has an 8-gallon pail and a 6-gallon pail.How can he use the pails to get exactly 10 gallons of water in the tank? Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) Fill the 8 gallon pail, and use that water to fill the 6 gallon pail, leaving 2 gallons in the 8 gallon pail.
2) Empty the 6 gallon pail and transfer the 2 gallons that were left in the 8 gallon pail to the 6 gallon pail.
3) Fill the 8 gallon pail again and used those 8 gallons plus the 2 gallons from the 6 gallon pail to fill the tank.
