The amount of blue paint in each container is .
Further explanation:
The mixture mixed by Mrs. Cleaver contains 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.
So, the amount of blue paint is calculated as,
Therefore, the total amount of paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.
Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,
Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is .
Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is and the amount of paint in a container is
then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,
Thus, the amount of blue paint in each of the five containers is .
