The bathtub in Tanya's bathroom is clogged up, and she needs to empty out the water in it. The only thing she can find to use is a bucket that holds of a gallon of water.

If it takes 30 full buckets to empty the tub, how much water was in the tub originally?
25 gallons
33 gallons
27 gallons
32 gallons

Answer 1

The bucket can contain 9/10 of a gallon of water.

Answer 2

\[\Large \frac{\text{number of buckets}}{\text{amount of water}}=\frac{\text{number of buckets}}{\text{amount of water}}\]

\[\Large \frac{1 \ \text{bucket}}{9/10 \ \text{gallons}}=\frac{30 \ \text{buckets}}{x \ \text{gallons}}\]

\[\Large \frac{1}{9/10}=\frac{30}{x}\]

\[\Large 1*x=(9/10)*30\]

\[\Large x=??\]

I'll let you finish up
