please help me quick

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 5 + 7 + 13 = 25 parts

Divide the total amount of water by 25 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

125 l ÷ 25 = 5 l , then

5 parts = 5 × 5 = 25 l

7 parts = 7 × 5 = 35 l

13 parts = 13 × 5 = 65 l

The quantity of water in each container is 25 l , 35 l , 65 l
