To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of the bucket is reduced to 3/5 of its present?
Choices.
A) 41.66667
B) 60.5
C) 63.5
D) 62.5
E) 64.5
Let capacity of 1 bucket = x   Capacity of the tank = 25x   New capacity of the bucket = 3x/5   Hence, number of buckets needed = 25x/(3x/5)=(25×5)/3=41.66667   41.66667nswer is 41.66667.
