The answer is 6 1/2 buckets.
What is did was turn the fractions into decimals to make it easier.
So the ratio is 5.25 gallons per bucket. I divided 34 1/8 by 5 1/4 in decimal form (34.125/5.25) and got 6.5
So therefore, the answer is 6 1/2 buckets of water is needed ti fill up the tub.

Answer:
Time taken by Franklin to shovel alone is 65.5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken by Franklin to shovel alone = x minutes.
Since, the time taken by Angela to shovel = 180 minutes and the time taken by both = 48 minutes.
Then, we have,
Amount of shoveling done in 1 minute by Angela =
Amount of shoveling done in 1 minute by both =
Amount of shoveling done in 1 minute by Franklin=
So, we have,
i.e.
i.e.
i.e.
i.e.
i.e. x= 65.5 minutes
Thus, the time taken by Franklin to shovel alone is 65.5 minutes.
