Answer: 7\times10^{19} buckets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  A cubic kilometer=10^{15}cubic centimeters

The volume of  world’s oceans=1.4\times10^{9} cubic kilometers of water.

⇒ The volume of  world’s oceans=1.4\times10^{9}\times10^{15} cubic centimeters of water.

Volume of a bucket = 20,000 cubic centimeters of water.

The number of bucket-loads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans

n=\frac{\text{volume of ocean}}{\text{volume of bucket}}=\frac{1.4\times10^{9}\times10^{15}}{20000}

\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{1.4\times10^{9+15}}{0.2\times10^5}......[a^n\times a^m=a^{m+n}]\\\Rightarrow\ n=7\times10^{24-5}.....[\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}]\\\Rightyarrow\ n=7\times10^{19}

hence,  7\times10^{19} bucketloads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans.
