(a)
Bottle : Jar : Tank
1 : 5 : 15
(b)
Percentage of water that a bottle can hold as compared to a jar
=
15 x 100%
= 20%
(c)
Volume of 1 jar
= 5 x 4
= 20 ℓ
Volume of 5 jars
= 5 x 20
= 100 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 tank
= 3 x 20
= 60 ℓ
Volume of 3 tanks
= 3 x 60
= 180 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 15; (b) 20%; (c) 100 ℓ; (d) 180 ℓ
