(a)
Pail : Bottle : Barrel
1 : 2 : 8
(b)
Percentage of water that a pail can hold as compared to a bottle
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 bottle
= 2 x 5
= 10 ℓ
Volume of 2 bottles
= 2 x 10
= 20 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 4 x 10
= 40 ℓ
Volume of 4 barrels
= 4 x 40
= 160 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 8; (b) 50%; (c) 20 ℓ; (d) 160 ℓ
