It takes 25 buckets of water to fill a tank. How many buckets of water will it take to fill the same tank if the bucket's capacity is decreased to one-fifth of its current capacity?
A. 10 B. 35 C. 62.5 D. Cannot be determined
Explanation: Let 1 bucket's capacity be x.The tank's capacity then becomes 25x.2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 x 2,Number of buckets required = 25x/(2x/5)= 125/2 = 25x X 5/2x=62.5 %
