A group of students brought a pail of water to clean the classrom.

A pail could hold 4 litres of water.
How much water could 8 pails hold?

1 answer

If one pail can hold 4 litres of water, then 8 pails can hold:

\[ 8 \text{ pails} \times 4 \text{ litres/pail} = 32 \text{ litres} \]

So, 8 pails could hold 32 litres of water.
