Each bucket holds 2 and 2/3
gallons of water. If it takes 16 buckets to fill a tank, how much water does the tank hold?
A bucket.
Each bucket holds 2 and 2/3 gallons of water. Since there are 16 buckets needed to fill the tank, the total amount of water in the tank is 2 and 2/3 gallons per bucket multiplied by 16 buckets.
2 and 2/3 * 16 = 42 and 2/3
Therefore, the tank holds 42 and 2/3 gallons of water.
