Question

A bucket can hold $12\frac{1}{2}litre$water. How much water will be there in $2\frac{1}{2}$ such buckets?

Answer 1

Water needed to be fill one bucket =$12\frac{1}{2}litre=\frac{25}{2}litre$

To find:- Water needed to fill $2\frac{1}{2}$buckets

i.e. $2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$ buckets

Water needed to fill $2\frac{1}{2}$ buckets=$\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{25}{2}litres$

=$31.25litres$

Therefore,$31.25litres$ water needed to fill $2\frac{1}{2}$ buckets
