Respuesta :
1/4 of a five gallon bucket is 1 1/4 gallons.
5-1 1/4=3 3/4 gallons left to fill.
Answer: 3 3/4 gallons
We need [tex]\dfrac{15}{4}[/tex] gallons of water more to fill the bucket.
Given that:
Volume of bucket = 5 gallons
Amount of Water already filled by us = 1/4 of the bucket = [tex]\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex] gallons
To find:
How much more water is needed to fill the bucket.
Explanation and Calculations:
The remaining volume of bucket can be calculated by subtracting the amount of water we filled in the bucket from the total volume of the bucket as it will show us the volume of the space remaining in the bucket.
Space remaining in bucket = Volume of bucket - water filled already
[tex]\text{space remaining} = 5 - \dfrac{5}{4} = \dfrac{4 \timse 5 - 5}{4} = \dfrac{15}{4} \:\rm gallons[/tex]
In that space, we will fill same amount of water so that the bucket gets fully filled.
Thus,
Amount of water needed to fill the bucket = space remaining = [tex]\dfrac{15}{4}[/tex] gallons.
