Answer 1

Answer:

⅞ litres milk is left in his can.

Explanation:

In the morning a milkman filled 5½ litre of milk in his can. He sold to Rena, Kamal and Renuka ¾ litre each to Shakan he sold ⅞ litre and to Jesse he gave 1½ litre.

So, he had 5½ litres or ¹¹/2 litres of milk in his can.

He sold 1½ litres or ³/2 litres to Jesse.

He sold totally = {(¾×3)+⅞+3/2} litres of milk

= {⁹/4+⅞+³/2} litres of milk

= { 18+7+12/8} litres of milk

= 37/8 litres of milk

= 4⅝ litres of milk

So, The measure of milk left in his can = (5½ - 4⅝) litres = (¹¹/2 - ³⁷/8) litres = 44 - 37/8 litres = ⅞ litres

Hence, ⅞ litres milk is left in his can.
