Given that a 10-litre container contains acetic acid and water, the ratio of the acetic acid and water percentage is given.


\begin{gathered} \text{acetic acid : water} \\ 80\text{ \% : 20 \%} \end{gathered}

Simplify the ratio of acetic acid to water


0.8\colon0.2

To obtain the liters of acetic in the container, we will multiply the ratio of acetic by 10 liters


0.8*10=8\text{ liter}

Hence, 8 liters of aceti
