(a)
Barrel : Container : Pot
1 : 2 : 6
(b)
Percentage of water that a barrel can hold as compared to a container
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 container
= 2 x 8
= 16 ℓ
Volume of 2 containers
= 2 x 16
= 32 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 pot
= 3 x 16
= 48 ℓ
Volume of 3 pots
= 3 x 48
= 144 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 6; (b) 50%; (c) 32 ℓ; (d) 144 ℓ
