Question

Jabu is building a new flower bed and is using a bucket to carry soil from another part of the garden to the new bed. He knows his bucket has a capacity of 10 litres. If he has $300$ litres of soil, and for each trip he fills the bucket to the top, how many trips will Jabu have to make with bucket?

• A. $10$
• B. $20$
• C. $30$
• D. $40$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$30$

He needs $300$ litres of soil, in one trip he can carry only $10$ litres of soil.

So, he will need $30$ trips

i.e. $30\times 10$ =$300$ litres will complete his task.
