Answer:
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
