Problem 1:

Image:
- A teapot is shown as equal to 3 cups.
- The teapot has a capacity of 6 c (cups).

Question: What is the capacity of each cup?

Solution:
The teapot's capacity is divided equally among the 3 cups.
\[
\text{Capacity of each cup} = \frac{\text{Capacity of teapot}}{\text{Number of cups}} = \frac{6 \, \text{c}}{3} = 2 \, \text{c}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{2}
\]

Problem 2:

Image:
- A measuring cup with a capacity of 16 tbsp (tablespoons) is shown as equal to 4 smaller containers.

Question: What is the capacity of each smaller container?

Solution:
The measuring cup's capacity is divided equally among the 4 smaller containers.
\[
\text{Capacity of each smaller container} = \frac{\text{Capacity of measuring cup}}{\text{Number of smaller containers}} = \frac{16 \, \text{tbsp}}{4} = 4 \, \text{tbsp}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{4}
\]

Problem 3:

Image:
- A gallon jug is shown as equal to 2 pitchers.
- The gallon jug has a capacity of 1 gal (gallon).

Question: What is the capacity of each pitcher?

Solution:
The gallon jug's capacity is divided equally among the 2 pitchers.
\[
\text{Capacity of each pitcher} = \frac{\text{Capacity of gallon jug}}{\text{Number of pitchers}} = \frac{1 \, \text{gal}}{2} = 0.5 \, \text{gal}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{0.5}
\]

Problem 4:

Image:
- A cup with a capacity of 12 fl.oz (fluid ounces) is shown as equal to 3 jars.

Question: What is the capacity of each jar?

Solution:
The cup's capacity is divided equally among the 3 jars.
\[
\text{Capacity of each jar} = \frac{\text{Capacity of cup}}{\text{Number of jars}} = \frac{12 \, \text{fl.oz}}{3} = 4 \, \text{fl.oz}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{4}
\]

Problem 5:

Image:
- A bucket with a capacity of 10 pt (pints) is shown as equal to 5 bottles.

Question: What is the capacity of each bottle?

Solution:
The bucket's capacity is divided equally among the 5 bottles.
\[
\text{Capacity of each bottle} = \frac{\text{Capacity of bucket}}{\text{Number of bottles}} = \frac{10 \, \text{pt}}{5} = 2 \, \text{pt}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{2}
\]

Final Answers:

1. \(\boxed{2}\)
2. \(\boxed{4}\)
3. \(\boxed{0.5}\)
4. \(\boxed{4}\)
5. \(\boxed{2}\)

These solutions are derived by dividing the total capacity of the larger container by the number of smaller containers it is equivalent to. This ensures that the capacities are distributed evenly.
