(a)
Pail : Tank : Container
1 : 5 : 15
(b)
Percentage of water that a pail can hold as compared to a tank
=
15 x 100%
= 20%
(c)
Volume of 1 tank
= 5 x 2
= 10 ℓ
Volume of 5 tanks
= 5 x 10
= 50 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 container
= 3 x 10
= 30 ℓ
Volume of 3 containers
= 3 x 30
= 90 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 15; (b) 20%; (c) 50 ℓ; (d) 90 ℓ
