2 x 4 = 8 |
(a)
Tank : Barrel : Bottle
1 : 4 : 8
(b)
Percentage of water that a tank can hold as compared to a barrel
=
14 x 100%
= 25%
(c)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 4 x 8
= 32 ℓ
Volume of 4 barrels
= 4 x 32
= 128 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 bottle
= 2 x 32
= 64 ℓ
Volume of 2 bottles
= 2 x 64
= 128 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 4 : 8; (b) 25%; (c) 128 ℓ; (d) 128 ℓ
