Answer 1

Answer:

The quantity of water filled in the bucket after 70 hours is 11.67 gallon  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The quantity of water filled in the bucket after 24 hours = 4 gallon

Let The quantity of water filled in the bucket after 70 hours = x gallon

So, According to question

Applying unitary method

∵In 24 hours, The quantity of water filled in bucket = 4 gallons

So,In 1 hour, The quantity of water filled in bucket = $\dfrac{4}{24}$ gallon

∴ In 70 hour, The quantity of water filled in bucket = $\dfrac{4}{24}$ × 70 gallon

I.e x = $\frac{4\times 70}{24}$ gallons

Or, x = 11.67 gallons

So,The quantity of water filled in the bucket after 70 hours = x = 11.67 gallon

Hence, The quantity of water filled in the bucket after 70 hours is 11.67 gallon  . Answer
