Gen's bucket holds 1/3 of soil.Gene needs to move 10 2/3 pounds of topsoil to his grandmother's garden.How many times will he need to fill his bucket if he wants to move the entire pile of topsoil to the garden?
I assume each bucket holds 1/3 of a pound
He'll need 3 buckets to move 1 pound
so 3*10 = 30 buckets to move 10 pounds
plus 2 more buckets to move the other 2/3 pounds
Which is 32 buckets altogether.
You could also do it like this 1023÷13
(10+23)(13)=32
I have much better suggestion though.
I think Gen should discard that bucket and get a MUCH bigger one.
His 'bucket' is about the size of a little cup. Maybe the units were not meant to be pounds :/
