(a)
Pail : Jar : Tank
1 : 2 : 8
(b)
Percentage of water that a pail can hold as compared to a jar
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 jar
= 2 x 6
= 12 ℓ
Volume of 2 jars
= 2 x 12
= 24 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 tank
= 4 x 12
= 48 ℓ
Volume of 4 tanks
= 4 x 48
= 192 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 8; (b) 50%; (c) 24 ℓ; (d) 192 ℓ
