(a)
Container : Jar : Pail
1 : 2 : 6
(b)
Percentage of water that a container can hold as compared to a jar
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 jar
= 2 x 4
= 8 ℓ
Volume of 2 jars
= 2 x 8
= 16 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 pail
= 3 x 8
= 24 ℓ
Volume of 3 pails
= 3 x 24
= 72 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 6; (b) 50%; (c) 16 ℓ; (d) 72 ℓ
