(a)
Bottle : Tank : Jar
1 : 2 : 6
(b)
Percentage of water that a bottle can hold as compared to a tank
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 tank
= 2 x 9
= 18 ℓ
Volume of 2 tanks
= 2 x 18
= 36 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 jar
= 3 x 18
= 54 ℓ
Volume of 3 jars
= 3 x 54
= 162 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 6; (b) 50%; (c) 36 ℓ; (d) 162 ℓ
