(a)
Tank : Pot : Barrel
1 : 2 : 6
(b)
Percentage of water that a tank can hold as compared to a pot
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 pot
= 2 x 9
= 18 ℓ
Volume of 2 pots
= 2 x 18
= 36 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 3 x 18
= 54 ℓ
Volume of 3 barrels
= 3 x 54
= 162 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 6; (b) 50%; (c) 36 ℓ; (d) 162 ℓ
