If eight liters is 20% the capacity of a container filled with water, calculate the total capacity of 40 such containers filled with water.
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
If eight liters is 20% the capacity of a container filled with water, when the container is full, which is 100%, the container will contain 100% / 20% * 8 liters = 40 liters. The total capacity of 40 such containers filled with water is 40 * 40 = 1600 liters.
Thus, the answer is 1600.
