Answer:

  • 3/8 bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 1/4 bucket of nuts fills 2/3 of the barrel

PART A

<u>To find the amount of nuts that fills entire basket we can put this as:</u>

  • 1/4 bucket → 2/3 barrel
  • x bucket → 1 barrel

<u>Use cross-multiplication to find the value of x:</u>

  • x×2/3 = 1×1/4
  • x = 1/4 ÷ 2/3
  • x = 1/4×3/2
  • x = 3/8 bucket

PART B

  • Using the bucket to barrel ratio to solve the problem. Having the number of required buckets as x and considering full barrel as 1 helps to find the value of x.
