• A. $\frac{7}{8}$ liters
• B. $\frac{7}{4}$ liters
• C. $\frac{3}{4}$ liters

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{7}{4}$ liters

In the given number line, each segment is divided into 4 equal parts.

Each part in the number line equals $\frac{1}{4}$

The point is marked at the 7th place from zero.

It is equivalent to 7 $\times$ $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{7}{4}$

Hence, the capacity of the container is $\frac{7}{4}$ liters
