8. A pail can hold 5 basins of water. A basin can hold 10 jugs of water. How many jugs of water can the pail hold?

To find out how many jugs of water a pail can hold, we can break it down step by step. 1. **Determine how many jugs are in one basin:** - 1 basin can hold 10 jugs of water. 2. **Determine how many basins are in one pail:** - 1 pail can hold 5 basins of water. 3. **Calculate the total number of jugs in one pail:** - Since 1 basin holds 10 jugs, and 1 pail holds 5 basins, we can calculate the total number of jugs in a pail as follows: \[ \text{Total jugs in a pail} = \text{Number of basins in a pail} \times \text{Number of jugs in a basin} \] \[ \text{Total jugs in a pail} = 5 \text{ basins} \times 10 \text{ jugs/basin} = 50 \text{ jugs} \] Therefore, the pail can hold **50 jugs of water**.
