He has 3*5 3/8 liters or 15 9/8 liters to fill or 16 1/8 liters
\n" ); document.write( "He has 20 5/6 liters.
\n" ); document.write( "couple of ways to do this.
\n" ); document.write( "From 16 1/8 liters to 20 liters is 3 7/8 liter
\n" ); document.write( "Then he needs 5/6 liter more
\n" ); document.write( "so add 3 7/8 and 5/6.
\n" ); document.write( "Just add 7/8 and 5/6 and later add 3.
\n" ); document.write( "common denominator is 24, so it is 21/24 and 20/24 which is 41/24 or 1 17/24
\n" ); document.write( "Add 3 for the answer and it is 4 17/24 liters, the answer
\n" ); document.write( "Check with decimals-5.375*3=16.125 liters
\n" ); document.write( "subtract from 20.833 liters to get 4.708 liters.
\n" ); document.write( "17/24=0.7083 liters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
