(a)
Tank : Container : Jar
1 : 4 : 8
(b)
Percentage of water that a tank can hold as compared to a container
=
14 x 100%
= 25%
(c)
Volume of 1 container
= 4 x 3
= 12 ℓ
Volume of 4 containers
= 4 x 12
= 48 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 jar
= 2 x 12
= 24 ℓ
Volume of 2 jars
= 2 x 24
= 48 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 4 : 8; (b) 25%; (c) 48 ℓ; (d) 48 ℓ
