Answer:

12 jugs
Explanation:

(
(21)/(5) \\\\) divided by (
(3)/(8)) find a common denominator between 5 and 8 which is 40. Multiply the left side top and bottom by 8 and then multiply the right side by 5 top and bottom to get
(168)/(40) divided by
(15)/(40) and get 11.2 however you cant purchase .2 of a jug so round up and you get 12 jugs.
