(a)
Barrel : Container : Jar
1 : 5 : 20
(b)
Percentage of water that a barrel can hold as compared to a container
=
15 x 100%
= 20%
(c)
Volume of 1 container
= 5 x 2
= 10 ℓ
Volume of 5 containers
= 5 x 10
= 50 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 jar
= 4 x 10
= 40 ℓ
Volume of 4 jars
= 4 x 40
= 160 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 20; (b) 20%; (c) 50 ℓ; (d) 160 ℓ
