Skill Question
Water Buckets
A water park has 3 buckets held above a pool. Water is poured into the buckets. When the
buckets are full they tip over and empty out all the water. The buckets are refilled immediately.
Hana records the number of minutes it takes each of the empty buckets to fill up and tip over.
1) The red and blue buckets both tipped over at the same time. How many minutes before
this happens again?
2) At 10:23 am the red bucket tips over. At which of these times will the red bucket tip over
again? Select two times.
a) 10:41 am b) 10:43 am c) 10:45 am d) 1:15 pm

Teacher Feedback:
Great job! You applied the divisibility rules for 8 and 11 accurately. Your work shows a strong
understanding of these rules.
You’re making progress, but let’s spend some more time practicing the divisibility rules for 8 and 11.
You have a strong understanding of finding HCF using the continued division method. Your steps
were clear, and you arrived at the correct answer. Well done!
When applying the continued division method, double-check your division steps to ensure accuracy.
Great Job! You demonstrated a strong understanding of finding LCM using the common division
method.
You missed dividing by a common prime factor in the common division method for LCM. (Refer this
