Answer 1

Answer:3.55 liters of paint are in each container

Explanation:

Total amount of paint ( purple paint ) =Amount of red paint + Blue paint

= 6.42 Liters + 6.87 Liters

=13.29Liters

Amount of paint in the three containers = Total amount of paint ( purple paint ) - amount left over = 13.29- 2.64

=10.65Liters

Amount OF Paint in each container = Amount of paint in the three containers / 3

10.65/ 3

=3.55 liters
