(a)
Tank : Barrel : Pail
1 : 2 : 10
(b)
Percentage of water that a tank can hold as compared to a barrel
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 2 x 4
= 8 ℓ
Volume of 2 barrels
= 2 x 8
= 16 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 pail
= 5 x 8
= 40 ℓ
Volume of 5 pails
= 5 x 40
= 200 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 10; (b) 50%; (c) 16 ℓ; (d) 200 ℓ
