Fill the 5 litre and empty into the 12 litres twice. Then fill it again and with this pour to the brim of the 12 litres. You are then left with 3 litres in the 5 litre jug.

Because: 5+5+5=15, however you have only space for 12. i.e. 15-12 is 3

Fill the 6 litre jar, and pour its entire contents into the 11 litre jar. Now fill the 6 litre jar again, and pour as much into the 11 litre jar as will fit. What is left in the 6 litre jar is 1 litre. Pour that 1 litre into another container. Pour out the 11 litre jar. Repeat this process two more times, each time getting 1 more litre into the container. When you have done it three times, you will have 3 litres.

One easy way would be to fill the 7 liter jar, use it to fill the 3 liter jar twice (discarding the contents of the 3 liter jar each time), and then pouring the remaining 1 liter into the 10 liter jar.

Next fill the 7 liter jar and use it to fill the 3 liter jar once, there will be 4 liters remaining in the 7 liter jar. Dump that into the 10 liter jar and you're done.

Pour the 5 liters in the cup into the jug. -Jug: 9/10 -Bowl: 1/3 -Cup: 0/5 6. Pour the 1 liter from the 3 liter bowl into the 5 liter cup. -Jug: 9/10 -Bowl: 0/3 -Cup: 1/5 7.

What fraction of 1 liter is 100 milliliter?

There is no equivalence. A millimetre is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space while a litre is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.

Is 200 milliliters more than 3 tenths of a liter?

No. 200 milliliters is 2/10 of a liter (1000 ml). 3/10 of a liter would be more (300 ml). 200 /1000 = 0.2 liter (2 tenths) and 300/1000 = 0.3 liter (three tenths)
