A bucket when a fifth full holds 10 litres .How many litres will it hold when it is full?
Thank you
1/5 full is 10 litres
5/5 full is how many litres?
To determine the number of liters the bucket will hold when it's full, we need to understand what it means when we say the bucket is "a fifth full."
When a bucket is a fifth full, it means it is filled to one-fifth of its total capacity. This implies that there are four equal parts left to be filled.
Since we know that the bucket holds 10 liters when a fifth full, we can use this information to calculate its total capacity.
To find out what one part of the bucket represents, we divide 10 liters by 1/5 (which is equivalent to dividing by 0.2).
10 liters ÷ 0.2 = 50 liters
Therefore, the total capacity of the bucket is 50 liters.
Hence, when the bucket is full, it will hold 50 liters.
