Answer 1

2.125 liters of juice

Explanation:

Total liters of juice = 9

Total liters left = 0.5

Total liters used = Total liters of juice - Total liters left

= 9 - 0.5

= 8.5

Total liters used = 8.5 liters

He pours equal amounts of the juice into 4 pitcher

Liters per pitcher = Total liters used / number of pitchers

= 8.5 / 4

= 2.125 liters

Liters per pitcher = 2.125 liters

Each pitcher has 2.125 liters of juice
