(a)
Bottle : Container : Pail
1 : 4 : 8
(b)
Percentage of water that a bottle can hold as compared to a container
=
14 x 100%
= 25%
(c)
Volume of 1 container
= 4 x 9
= 36 ℓ
Volume of 4 containers
= 4 x 36
= 144 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 pail
= 2 x 36
= 72 ℓ
Volume of 2 pails
= 2 x 72
= 144 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 4 : 8; (b) 25%; (c) 144 ℓ; (d) 144 ℓ
