Here is the question and put answer below:

There are approximately 2.25*10^12 grains of sand on the stretch of the beach. If a bucket holds 1.25*10^9 grains of sand, how many buckets would it taketo remove all of the sand from the beach?

You just divide how much you need by the amount in one bucket.

(2.25*10^12 grains of sand) / (1.25*10^9 grains of sand per bucket) = number of buckets
= 1800 buckets

Hope this helps!!

2.25 x 10^12/1.25 x 10^9

That equals

2.25/1.25 x 10^3 or
1800 buckets
