Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters

ANSWER

The total length of the trip to and from work in August is

$403.2 \: miles$

EXPLANATION

The total length of the trip to and from work is

$19.2 \: miles$

If Jonah worked 21 days in August,

Then, the total length of the trip to and from work is
$= 21 \times 19.2 \: miles$

Change the decimal to fraction and multiply,

$= 21 \times \frac{192}{10} miles$

$= \frac{21 \times 192}{10}$

$= \frac{4032}{10} miles$

Convert back to decimal

$= 403.2 \: miles$

125% because sixteen is equal to a whole which is equal to one-hundered and one fourth of sixteen is four and sixteen plus four is twenty. one fourth of one-hundered is twenty-five so you add the twenty-five to the one-hundered and you get 125%
