(a)
Bottle : Barrel : Pot
1 : 2 : 6
(b)
Percentage of water that a bottle can hold as compared to a barrel
=
12 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Volume of 1 barrel
= 2 x 6
= 12 ℓ
Volume of 2 barrels
= 2 x 12
= 24 ℓ
(d)
Volume of 1 pot
= 3 x 12
= 36 ℓ
Volume of 3 pots
= 3 x 36
= 108 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1 : 2 : 6; (b) 50%; (c) 24 ℓ; (d) 108 ℓ
