Question: A bucket can hold 6 1/2 liters of water when it is full, a 500-milliliter jug is used to fill the bucket. How many full jugs of water are needed to fill the bucket?
Explanation: To able to answer this accurately we first convert the liters to milliliters. Since 1 liter is equal 1000 milliliters, 6 1/2 is equal to 6500 milliliters. This significantly makes it easier to answer this question. Now we find how many times 500 can fit into 6500 which is 13 times (6500/500=13).
Answer: 13 full jugs of water are needed to fill the bucket.
