(a)
Bottle : Pail : Container
1 : 5 : 10
(b)
Percentage of water that a bottle can hold as compared to a pail
=
15 x 100%
= 20%
(c)
Volume of 1 pail
= 5 x 7
= 35 ℓ
Volume of 5 pails
= 5 x 35
= 175 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 container
= 2 x 35
= 70 ℓ
Volume of 2 containers
= 2 x 70
= 140 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 10; (b) 20%; (c) 175 ℓ; (d) 140 ℓ
