- Water is drawn to fill an empty tank whose capacity is 1200litres using two types of buckets. It requires at least 30 type A buckets...(Solved)
Water is drawn to fill an empty tank whose capacity is 1200litres using two types of buckets. It requires at least 30 type A buckets and 50 type B buckets to fill the tank. Also, two type A buckets are required to fill at most three type B buckets. Each type B bucket has a capacity of not more than 20litres.
a) Taking x litres and y litres to represent the capacity of each type A bucket and each type B bucket respectively; write down 3 inequalities to represent the above information.
b) Use graphical method to determine the capacity of each type of bucket.
