Question

How many containers needed to hold 1 liter of water using 1/3 liter held in identical containers?

Answer 1

3. Because each container holds one third.

Answer 2

Amount of water hold by each identical container =
`(1)/(3)` of a liter

Amount of water hold by each identical container =
`(1)/(3) * 1` liter

=
`(1)/(3)` liter

Let 'n' be the number of containers that hold 1 liter of water.

According to the question,

`(1)/(3) * n =1`

n =
`3 * 1`

n =3

So, 3 containers are needed to hold 1 liter of water.
