(a)
Container : Barrel : Jar
1 : 5 : 10
(b)
Percentage of water that a container can hold as compared to a barrel
=
15 x 100%
= 20%
(c)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 5 x 9
= 45 ℓ
Volume of 5 barrels
= 5 x 45
= 225 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 jar
= 2 x 45
= 90 ℓ
Volume of 2 jars
= 2 x 90
= 180 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 10; (b) 20%; (c) 225 ℓ; (d) 180 ℓ
