Jackson and his sister ran a hose from a bucket into their swimming pool. The hose sprays 1/3 of a gallon from the bucket every second. The bucket started with 32 gallons of water. How long will it take to empty the bucket?

Sagot :

96 seconds because if it shoots out 1/3 of a gallon per second we have to multiply that by 3. so it takes 3 seconds per gallon. so 3x32 is 96

Answer:

It will take 96 seconds to empty the bucket.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this all you have to do is divide 32 by 1/3. To do this you first have to turn 32 into and improper fraction by changing it into 31 3/3 and then multiplying 31 times 3 (93) and then adding 3, which gives you 96 so you get 96/3. You also have to change the division sign into a multiplication sign while also flipping 1/3 so its 3/1. Now you have to cross cancel and since the 3 in 96/3 can go into the 3 in 3/1 once, the 96/3 changes into 96/1 and the 3/1 changes into 1/1. Now you can multiply so 96 times 1 is 96 and 1 times 1 is 1 so you get 96/1 which is basically just 96 so your answer is that it will take 96 seconds to empty the bucket.
