Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$According \: to \: the \: question,$

• $A \: jar \: + \: sugar \: = \: \frac{17}{5} kg$

• $empty\: jar \: = \: \frac{4}{3} kg$

$The \: amount \: of \: sugar \: = \: \frac{17}{5} kg \: - \: \frac{4}{3} kg$

$→ \: \frac{51 \: - \: 20}{15}kg$

$→ \: \frac{31}{15}kg$
