Calculating the number of buckets required to fill a tank

To calculate the number of buckets required to fill a tank, we need to know the capacity of both the tank and the bucket. In this case, the tank holds 1000L of water and the bucket has a capacity of 12L600ml.

Converting the bucket capacity into liters

Before we can calculate the number of buckets required, we need to convert the capacity of the bucket from liters and milliliters into just liters. To do this, we can use the following conversion:

1 liter = 1000 milliliters

Therefore, the capacity of the bucket in liters is:

12L600ml = 12.6 liters

Calculating the number of buckets required

To calculate the number of buckets required to fill the tank, we can use the following formula:

Number of buckets = Tank capacity / Bucket capacity

Plugging in the values we have:

Number of buckets = 1000L / 12.6L

Number of buckets = 79.37

Since we cannot have a fraction of a bucket, we must round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the number of buckets required to fill the tank is:

Number of buckets = 80

Therefore, we would need 80 buckets to fill the tank.
