Answer 8

nope @myko if 6 litres filled the jar 2.5 times, then, the jar's capacity is 6/2.5. think it over.

Answer 9

@apoorvk is right

Answer 10

Would the answer be a fraction between 18 and 24 liters?

Answer 11

6/5/2

Answer 12

6/2.5 is something like - 2.4

Answer 13

6/5/2=12/5

Answer 14

Umm @bam56 that 4.5 isn't exactly double of 2.5, when you're doubling 6.

Answer 15

Oh! I didn't catch that, I was going up by 4's. I'll rework on it.

Answer 16

Ok so I got this:
6 = 2 1/2
12 = 5
18 = 7.5
24 = 10
The answer = The container would hold 24 liters of juice ?

Answer 17

24 in case of 10 times. so one container would contain 24/10, that is 2.4 litres of juice.

Answer 18

Got it! Thank you!

Answer 19

No worries.

Answer 20

The answer was 5/12.

Answer 21

yeah, i told you that itself --> 2.5/6 = 5/12 --> what were you thinking all the time??

Answer 22

Sorry I meant the correct answer was either 12/5 or 2 2/5
