Question

A bucket holds $12litres$ water when full. the bucket is three fourth full. How much water is in it?

Answer 1

The total filling capacity of the bucket$=$ $12litres$

If the bucket is three fourth$\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$ is full,

Then the water will be $=$$\frac{3}{4}$$\times$ the total bucket of water

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{3}{4}\times 12 \\ =\frac{3\times 12}{4} \\ =\frac{36}{4} \\ =9 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the water will be $9litres$
