20 buckets can fill a tank when the capacity of each bucket is 12 liters. If the capacity of each bucket is 10 liters, find the number of buckets required to fill the tank.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
According to the question,
20 buckets x 12 liters = Capacity of tank
Capacity of tank = 240 liters
Number of buckets required to fill the tank when the capacity of the bucket is 10 liters:
Number of buckets = \(\frac{ 240}{ 10}\) = 24 buckets
