Sagot :

I assume your question should be rephrased as "Josh has a bucket 30 inches deep..."

Josh is correct in estimating that it will take him under an hour to fill the entire bucket with water.

Given:

  • The bucket is 30 inches deep
  • It takes Josh 5 minutes to fill the bucket with 3 inches of water

To find: If Josh is correct in estimating that it will take him under an hour to fill the entire bucket with water

It is given that, to fill the bucket with 3 inches of water, it takes Josh 5 minutes.

Using Unitary method, we can say that, to fill the bucket with 1 inch of water, it takes Josh [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] minutes.

Then, to fill the bucket with 30 inches of water, it takes Josh [tex]\frac{5}{3} \times 30[/tex] minutes.

Solving, we can say that it takes Josh 50 minutes to fill the bucket with 30 inches of water.

Since the bucket is 30 inches deep, we can say that it takes Josh, 50 minutes to fill the entire bucket, which is just under an hour.

So, Josh is correct in assuming that it will take him under an hour to fill the entire bucket with water.
