    18 3/4 gallons of ice.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    By proportion we have:

    4/2.5 = 30/x where x is the number of gallons of ice.

    4x = 30*2.5

    4x = 75

    x = 18 3/4.

    18.75 gallons of ice

    Step-by-step explanation:

    I divided the 2.5 gallons of ice by the number of buckets (4) it filled to determine how many gallons of ice are in each bucket.

    2.5 / 4 = 0.625

    I then multiplied the amount of ice it takes to fill a bucket (0.625) by 30 buckets to get 18.75 gallons of ice.
