Problem

Tom was able to fill \$6 2/3\$ equal-sized buckets with a total of \$33 1/3\$liters of water. How much water was in each whole bucket?

Operator used

Step - 1

Total amount of water = \$33 1/3\$liters = \$100/3\$

Step - 2

Buckets = \$6 2/3\$ = \$20/3\$

Step - 3

Amount per bucket = \$"Total amount of water" / "buckets"\$

Step - 4

Amount per bucket = \$100/3 / 20/3\$

Step - 5

Amount per bucket = \$\cancel100^5/\cancel3^1 \times \cancel3^1/\cancel20^1\$

Step - 6

Amount of water in each whole bucket = \$5\$
