Jasmine put 10 cups of water in a bucket. If the bucket is half full, what is its capacity?
A) 2 cups
B) 3 cups
C) 4 cups
D) 20 cups
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Be sure you know what capacity means.
20 cups
To find the capacity of the bucket, we need to determine how much water it can hold when full. We are given that the bucket is half full, which means it currently contains 10 cups of water. To find the capacity, we can double this amount.
So, if the bucket is currently half full with 10 cups of water, the total capacity of the bucket when full would be 10 cups multiplied by 2, which equals 20 cups.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 20 cups.
