32 liters of milk was poured into 8 identical cans. The capacity of the can is equal

32 liters of milk was poured into 8 identical cans. The capacity of the can is equal to half the capacity of the bucket. Find the capacity of the bucket.

Let us denote through the variable X the capacity of one can, and through the variable Y the capacity of the bucket.

According to the condition of our problem, we compose and solve an equation with one unknown X, in order to find the capacity of one can.

X = 32: 8.

X = 4 liters.

Therefore, the capacity of one can is 4 liters.

Now we will find the required capacity of one bucket. For this, according to the condition of our problem, we compose and solve an equation with one unknown Y.

Y = 2 x X.

Y = 2 x 4.

Y = 8 liters.

Thus, we get that the capacity of one bucket is 8 liters.
