(a)
Tank : Container : Bottle
1 : 4 : 12
(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 2
= 8 ℓ
Volume of 4 containers
= 4 x 8
= 32 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 bottle
= 3 x 8
= 24 ℓ
Volume of 3 bottles
= 3 x 24
= 72 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 4 : 12; (b) 25%; (c) 32 ℓ; (d) 72 ℓ
