the volume of a bucket of water is 864 cubic inches. how many buckets are needed to fill a 7 cubic foot tank?

We have the relation:

1ft = 12 inches.

Then, if we cube both sides, we have:

(1ft)^3 = (12 in)^3

1ft^3 = 288 in^3.

Now we know that:

The bucket is 864 in^3

The tank is 7 ft^3.

knowing that 1 ft^3 = 288in^3

Then 7 ft^3 is seven times that:

7ft^3 = 7*(1ft^3) = 7*(288in^3) = 2016 in^3

Now the number of buckets needed to completely fill the tank is:

N = (2016 in^3)/(864in^3) = 2.33

So you need 2.33 buckets, or we can round it up to 3 buckets, where the third bucket will have some water inside it when the tank is completely filled.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
