Fill the 4 litre bucket and pour it into the 5 litre. Re-fill the 4 litre bucket and pour again. That gives you 5 litres (and 3 litres left in the smaller bucket). Empty the 5 litre bucket and put the remaining contents from the 4 litre into it. fill the 4 litre again - and pour it into the 5 litre bucket until it's full. Since you can only add 2 litres to the existing 3 litres, what you have left in the smaller bucket is... 2 litres !

If the length of a rectangle is increased by 10 and the breadth decreased by 5 the area is unchanged If the length is decreased by 5 and the breadth increased by 4 even then the area is unchanged?

Suppose the dimwnsions of the rectangle are L and B Then area = LB. Now (L+10)*(B-5) = LB so that 10B-5L = 50 and (L-5)*(B+4) = LB so that -5B+4L = 20 Solving these two equations simultaneously, gives L= 30,B = 20


If Leah is 6 years older than Sue and John is 5 years older Leah and the total of their ages is 41 how old is Sue?

Let L be the age of Leah, J as the age of John, and S as the age of Sue.Equation 1: S = L - 6Equation 2: J = L + 5Equation 3: L + J = 41Using Equation 3 to get Leah's age:L + J = 41L + (L + 5) = 412L = 41 - 5L = 18Using Equation 2 and substituting L to get John's age:J = L + 5J = 18 + 5J = 23Check using Equation 3, substituting L and J:L + J = 4118 + 23 = 41Using Equation 1 , substituting L to get Sue's age.S = L - 6S = 18 - 6S = 12Sue is 12 years old.Leah is 18 years old.John is 23 years old.


The width of a patio is 5ft less than the length.write an algebraic expression for the area of the patio.Indicate what the variable in the expression represents in your work?

If the width is five feet less than the length, we can say: W = L - 5 Where "W" is the patio's width, and "L" is the patio's length. Assuming that the patio is rectangular, then we know that it's area will be equal to it's length multiplied by it's width. In that case, we can say: a = L × W We can then take those two equations, and combine them into a single one using substitution. We already know that the width "W" is equal to "L - 5". Let's take that value then, and plug it into the second equation: a = L × (L - 5) That equation can then be simplified: a = L2 - 5L Which gives us the area of the patio with respect to it's length. You could also do the substitution the other way around, substituting the length with the width. First, we can rewrite our first equation, expressing it like so: L = W + 5 Now simply plug that one into our second equation: a = L × W ∴ a = (W + 5) × W ∴ a = W2 + 5W Giving us the area of the patio with respect to it's width.

U are given 5lit and 3lit bottles U have to measure 4lit of water by using them?

How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 5 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?

== == == == Fill the 3l and dump into 5l. Fill 3l again pour into 5l til full, you now have 1l left in 3 l container. dump 5 onto ground, pour the 1l from the 3l container into the 5l, then fill 3l and dump into the 5l....Presto exactly 4 liters are contained in the 5l container. ALTERNATIVELY (i) Fill the 5l and then fill 3l from 5l. This leaves 2l in the 5l. (ii) Empty 3l (iii) Pour the 2l from the 5l into the 3l. This leaves 1l of spare capacity in the 3l. (iv) Fill the 5l again (v) Fill the 3l from the 5l. This leaves 4l in the 5l.ALTERNATE 2:If flow is steady, time may be used to help. Take amount of time it takes to fill 5 liter bucket, divide by 5 then multiply by 4. Answer will be how long you must let the water flow into the 5 liter bucket to fill it upto 4 liters.


Measure 4 liters with a 7 liter and 5 liter?

Fill the 7 litre and pour into the 5. there's now 2L in the 7L jug. Empty the 5L and pour the 2L from the 7L into the 5L. Refill the 7L and top up the 5L. It will take 3L to do this, leaving 4L in the 7L jug.


If you have two jugs one can hold 3 liters and the other can hold 5 liters You need to measure out exactly 7 liters of water how would you do it?

Fill the 5L jug. Pour into 3L jug so that it is full and 2L remain in the 5L jug. Empty the 3L jug and then pour 2L from the 5L jug into the 3L jug. Fill the 5L jug again. So now you have 5L in the 5L jug and 2L in the 3L jug. Total of 7L.

If you have 8liters 5liters and 3liters how will you make 4liters you have 8liters filled?

Pour the 8l into the 5l bottle, so you have 3l left in the 8l bottle and 5l in the 5l bottle. Then pour the 5l into the 3l bottle, so you have 2l left in the 5l bottle and 3l in the 3l bottle. Pour the 3l into the 8l bottle so you have 6l in the 8l bottle. Pour the 2l from the 5l bottle into the 3l bottle so you have 2l in the 3l bottle, 6l in the 8l bottle, and 0l in the 5l bottle. Pour the 6l into the 5l bottle so you have 1l in the 8l bottle and 5l in the 5l bottle. Pour the 3l from the 3l bottle into 8l bottle to make 4l.

Would a cleaning bucket be 500ml or 5l?

It will be mostly likely 5L because 500mL will be more of less capacity so the Answer: is 5L.


Can Mary safely water a plant if it must be watered with exactly 6 liters of water exactly once a day from only one vessel and all she has is a 5-liter jug and a 7-liter jug?

1. Fill 5L vessel and pour all 5L into 7L vessel. 2. Fill 5L vessel again and fill the remainder of the 7L vessel (2L...leaving you with 3L in 5L vessel) 3. Empty 7L vessel and pour the 3L from 5L vessel into 7L vessel. 4. Fill 5L vessel again and fill the remainder of the 7L vessel (this will be 4L, as you have already got 3L in 7L vessel from Step 3. Leaving you with 1L in 5L vessel) 5. Empty the 7L vessel. Pour the 1L (from Step 4) from the 5L vessel into the 7L vessel. 6. Fill the 5L vessel and add it to the 1L (from step 5) in the 7L vessel. You now have 6L in the 7L vessel...WATER THE PLANT!1 Kg or 1000 grams


How do you get 6 liters from 3 jars 7 liters 5 liters and 4 liters?
