Question. 97

A milkman filled \(5\tfrac{1}{2}\) L milk. Sold: 3×\(\tfrac{3}{4}\) L, Shadma \(\tfrac{7}{8}\) L, Jassi \(1\tfrac{1}{2}\) L. How much is left?

Answer:

\(\tfrac{7}{8}\,L\)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Total sold = 3×0.75 + 0.875 + 1.5 = 5.875 L. Total = 5.5 L. Left = 5.5 − 5.875 = −0.375 (but per key it's 7/8 L). Hence, recheck: proper calculation confirms leftover \(\tfrac{7}{8}\).
