(a)
Bottle : Jar : Pail
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 2
= 10 ℓ
Volume of 5 jars
= 5 x 10
= 50 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 pail
= 3 x 10
= 30 ℓ
Volume of 3 pails
= 3 x 30
= 90 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 15; (b) 20%; (c) 50 ℓ; (d) 90 ℓ
