Answer:

Ok, so this is a word game, basically. The answer would be no, he is not correct BECAUSE...⬇

Explanation:

It looks to be asking "Is Jesse correct in saying that he has EXACTLY one liter left?" That would be a no because even though 10L-7L= 3L, the problem asks if he does have exactly ONE liter left, and Jesse says he DOES. But, according to my little equation above, if he drank 7L, he would have 3L left, NOT 1L. Soo, my answer would be "No, Jesse is not correct because 10L-7L=3L and if he says there is 1L left, he would not be correct because there are 3L left." Hope that helps!
