Answer:
a bucket can hold [tex]\frac{c}{c-8}[/tex] times water in a jug.
Step-by-step explanation:
A bucket holds the water = c liters
A jar holds 8 liters less water than a bucket
= (c - 8) liters
Therefore, [tex]\frac{\text{Water in the bucket}}{\text{Water in a jug}}=\frac{c}{c-8}[/tex]
Water in the bucket = [tex]\frac{c}{c-8}\times {\text{Water in a jug}}[/tex]
Therefore, a bucket can hold [tex]\frac{c}{c-8}[/tex] times water in a jug.
