2 x 5 = 10 |
(a)
Jar : Pot : Barrel
1 : 5 : 10
(b)
Percentage of water that a jar can hold as compared to a pot
=
15 x 100%
= 20%
(c)
Volume of 1 pot
= 5 x 7
= 35 ℓ
Volume of 5 pots
= 5 x 35
= 175 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 2 x 35
= 70 ℓ
Volume of 2 barrels
= 2 x 70
= 140 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 5 : 10; (b) 20%; (c) 175 ℓ; (d) 140 ℓ
