​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4}{21}$ jug of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the full jug will be 1.

Jay drinks $\frac{1}{7}$ jug

Kiran drinks $\frac{2}{3}$ jug

• Add:

$\frac{1}{7} + \frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{3}{21} + \frac{14}{21}$ = $\frac{3 + 14}{21}$ = $\frac{17}{21}$

To find amount of milk left in the jug:

• Subtract milk drank from the full jug:

$1 - \frac{17}{21}$ = $\frac{21}{21} - \frac{17}{21}$ = $\frac{21 - 17}{21}$ = $\frac{4}{21}$

∵ $\frac{4}{21}$ jug of milk is left in the jug.
