Solution

Given milk in can
$= 5 \frac{1}{2} L$
$= \frac{(5 \times 2) + 1}{2} = \frac{10 + 1}{2} = \frac{11}{2} L$

If $\frac{3}{4}$ L sold to Renu, Kamla and Renuka.

Then total milk sold
$= \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4}$
$= \frac{3 + 3 + 3}{4} = \frac{9}{4} L$

Milk sold to Sharma $= \frac{7}{8} L$
Milk total to Jassi $= 1 \frac{1}{2} L = \frac{(1 \times 2) + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$ L
Total milk sold $= \frac{9}{4} + \frac{7}{8} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{18 + 7 + 12}{8} = \frac{37}{2}$ L
$∴$ Total milk lef in can $= \frac{11}{2} - (\frac{37}{8}) = \frac{44 - 37}{8} = \frac{7}{8}$ L
Hence , $\frac{7}{8}$ L milk is left in the can .
