(a)
Pail : Container : Tank
1 : 2 : 6
(b)
Percentage of water that a pail can hold as compared to a container
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 container
= 2 x 5
= 10 ℓ
Volume of 2 containers
= 2 x 10
= 20 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 tank
= 3 x 10
= 30 ℓ
Volume of 3 tanks
= 3 x 30
= 90 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 6; (b) 50%; (c) 20 ℓ; (d) 90 ℓ
