Question

When a bucket is full, it holds exactly $25.5$ litres. A jug with a capacity of $500$ milliliters is to be used for filling water in the bucket. How many full jug of water will be needed to fill the bucket completely?

Answer 1

Given: Capacity of bucket $=25.5$ litres.

The capacity of jug $=500$ milliliters.

We know $1\mathrm{L}=1000\mathrm{ml}$

So, $500\mathrm{ml}=\frac{500}{1000}$

$=0.5\mathrm{L}$

Now the number of jugs needed to fill the bucket completely $=\frac{\mathrm{Capacity}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{buket}}{\mathrm{capacity}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{jug}}$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{25.5}{0.5} \\ =51 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $51$ full jugs of water will be needed to fill the bucket completely.
