Answer:

1.33 liters of milk are required to fill the jug.

Explanation:

With the information provided, you can use a rule of three to find the amount of milk required to fill 1 jug of tea given that Mason used 1/6 of a liter of milk to make 1/8 of a jug of tea:

1/6 f a liter of milk → 1/8 of a jug of tea

x ← 1 jug of tea

x=(1/6*1)/1/8

x=(1/6)/(1/8)

x=(1*8)/(6*1)

x=8/6

x=4/3=1.33

According to this, the answer is that 1.33 liters of milk are required to fill the jug.
