Final answer:

To find the amount of paint in each container, add the red and blue paint together, subtract the amount left over, and divide by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many liters of paint are in each container, we need to subtract the amount of paint left over from the total combined amount of red and blue paint.

First, we add the amount of red and blue paint together: 7.63 liters + 5.26 liters = 12.89 liters.

Then, we subtract the amount of paint left over from the total combined amount: 12.89 liters - 1.37 liters

= 11.52 liters.

Finally, we divide the result by 2 to find the amount of paint in each container: 11.52 liters / 2

= 5.76 liters per container.
