Answer:


(15)/(8)

Explanation:

To get the number of pitchers, we will add all the given quantity of water in all jugs.


(1)/(2) +(1)/(3) +(1)/(6) +(1)/(2) +(1)/(8) +(1)/(4)


(1)/(2) +(1)/(2)=1


1+ (1)/(3) +(1)/(6) +(1)/(8) +(1)/(4)

The LCM of 1, 3,6,8 and 4 =24


(24+8+4+3+6)/(24) =
(45)/(24) =
(15)/(8)

= 1.875
