Answer:

1 1/32 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Roger has 2 3/4 gallons of water in a jug.

Convert to an improper fraction

2 3/4=(2*4+3)/4=11/4 gal  

Remember that

If Roger pours 5/8 of the water into a new container

then

Roger's remaining gallons of water in the jug is (1-5/8=3/8)

Multiply 3/8 by the total gallons of water in the jug

(3/8)*(11/4)=33/32 gal

convert to mixed number

33/32=32/32+1/32=1 1/32 gal
