Answer:

1 1/2 liters of milk is required to fill the jug

Explanation:

Gabriel used 1/3 of a liter of milk to make 2/9 of a jug of tea. How much milk is required to fill the jug?

From the above question, we know that:

2/9 jug of tea = 1/3 liter of milk

1 jug of tea = x

Cross Multiply

2/9 × x = 1 × 1/3

x = 1/3 /2/9

x = 1/3 ÷ 2/9

x = 1/3 × 9/2

x = 3/2

x= 1 1/2 liters of milk

Therefore, 1 1/2 liters of milk is required to fill the jug
