    Answer: each container has 6.68 liters.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Josie combines 8.27 liters of red paint with 6.65 liters of blue paint to make purple paint. This means that the total number of liters of paint in the mixture (purple paint) is

    8.27 + 6.65 = 14.92 liters

    She pours the paint equally into 2 containers, and has 1.56 liters of paint left over. This means that the amount of paint that she poured inside the 2 containers is

    14.92 - 1.56 = 13.36 liters.

    Therefore, the number of liters of paint in each container is

    13.36/2 = 6.68 liters
