A swimming pool holds 28,401 gallons of water. How many 0.8-gallon buckets could be filled using the water from the swimming pool?

Respuesta :

Answer:

35501

Explanation:

Given

Volume of Pool = 28,401 gallon

Volume of Bucket = 0.8 gallon

Required

How many buckets can fill the pool

To do this, we simply divide the volume of the pool by the bucket;

[tex]Number = \frac{Pool\ Volume}{Bucket\ Volume}[/tex]

Substitute values for both volume

[tex]Number = \frac{28401}{0.8}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 35501.25[/tex]

[tex]Number = 35501[/tex] (Approximated)

Hence, 35501 buckets are required to fill the pool
