• A. $1\frac{3}{4}$ litres
• B. $1\frac{4}{7}$ litres
• C. $1\frac{5}{2}$ litres
• D. $1\frac{2}{5}$ litres

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1\frac{3}{4}$ litres

Given:

Amount of milk bought is $7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}$

Amount of milk consumed $5\frac{3}{4}=\frac{23}{4}$

$\therefore$ Amount of milk Left $=\frac{15}{2}-\frac{23}{4}$

$=\frac{30-23}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$

$=1\frac{3}{4}$
