A farmer has 10 buckets. Each bucket can hold 5 liters of water. If it rains for 3 days and every bucket is filled each day, how many liters of water can the farmer collect in total?
Answer
150 liters
The correct answer is 150 liters — State the total amount of water collected.
Step-by-step solution
- Find daily capacity: 10 buckets × 5 liters = 50 liters per day.
- Multiply daily capacity by the number of rainy days: 50 liters/day × 3 days = 150 liters.
- State the total amount of water collected.
Common mistake: Adding bucket capacity instead of multiplying by number of days.
Concept tested: Multiplying capacities over days to find total.
