(a)
Tank : Pail : Barrel
1 : 4 : 20
(b)
Percentage of water that a tank can hold as compared to a pail
=
14 x 100%
= 25%
(c)
Volume of 1 pail
= 4 x 2
= 8 ℓ
Volume of 4 pails
= 4 x 8
= 32 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 5 x 8
= 40 ℓ
Volume of 5 barrels
= 5 x 40
= 200 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 4 : 20; (b) 25%; (c) 32 ℓ; (d) 200 ℓ
