Amount of water hold by each identical container =[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] of a liter
Amount of water hold by each identical container =[tex] \frac{1}{3} \times 1 [/tex] liter
= [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] liter
Let 'n' be the number of containers that hold 1 liter of water.
According to the question,
[tex] \frac{1}{3} \times n =1 [/tex]
n =[tex] 3 \times 1 [/tex]
n =3
So, 3 containers are needed to hold 1 liter of water.
