Fraction of remaining juice left after Jeremy spilled some
= 1 -

13The volume of the remaining juice is the combined repeated identity. Make the volume of remaining juice the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Volume of water left = 2 u
2 u = 320
1 u = 320 ÷ 2 = 160
Total volume of water that Jeremy had at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 160
= 2400 mℓ
Answer(s): 2400 mℓ
