The jug can hold 1500ml. The bucket can hold 2 litres. The barrel can hold 15 litres. Anisa wants to fill the barrel with water. Find 2 ways that Anisa can fill the barrel using the jug and bucket

1. Using the jug 6 times and the bucket 3 times

2. Using the bucket 6 times, then using the jug two times

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's remember that 1000 ml = 1l

Thus 2L = 2000 ml

And 15L = 15,000 ml

So the situation we are having now is that we want to fill a barrel of 15,000 ml using a jug of 1500 ml and a bucket with a capacity of 2000 ml

Firstly, the first way is using the bucket 6 times and the jug 2 times

What i mean by this is using the bucket 6 times bringing the total volume from the bucket as (6 * 2000) = 12,000 ml

Then we are left with 15,000-12,000 = 3,000 ml

Now, she can fill the barrel with 2 times the full volume of the jug making 3,000

Secondly, she can also use the combination of both.

She can use the bucket 6 times and the jug 2 times

The total volume in each case here would be;

For the bucket; (2,000 * 6) = 12,000 ml

while for the jug, we have (1500 * 2) = 3,000 ml

And thus we shall be having a total of 12,000 + 3,000 = 15,000 ml this way
