(a)
Pail : Jar : Container
1 : 5 : 10
(b)
Percentage of water that a pail can hold as compared to a jar
=
15 x 100%
= 20%
(c)
Volume of 1 jar
= 5 x 6
= 30 ℓ
Volume of 5 jars
= 5 x 30
= 150 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 container
= 2 x 30
= 60 ℓ
Volume of 2 containers
= 2 x 60
= 120 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 10; (b) 20%; (c) 150 ℓ; (d) 120 ℓ
