10l
9l = 9l
870ml - 0.87l
9l + 0.87l = 9.87l
9.87l to the nearest whole litre is 10l (because 9.87l is closer to 10l than it is to 9l)

Fill the seven litre jug. Empty into 9l jug. Refill 7 litre jug and empty into 9l jug. 7l jug now contains 5l, whilst 9l jug is full. Empty 9l jug. Pour contents of 7l jug into 9l jug. Refill 7l jug and empty into 9l jug. The remainder in the 7l jug will be 3 litres
Fill the 7L (7L, 0L),Pour from 7L to 9L (0L, 7L),Refill the 7L (7L, 7L),Pour from 7L to 9L (5L, 9L),Empty 9L (5L, 0L),Pour from 7L to 9L (0L, 5L),Refill the 7L (7L, 5L),Pour from 7L to 9L (3L, 9L),Empty 9L (3L, 0L),Pour from 7L to 9L (0L, 3L),Refill the 7L (7L, 3L),Pour from 7L to 9L (1L, 9L).Done!
When referring to volume measurements, "nearest litre" means rounding the measurement to the nearest whole litre. This involves looking at the decimal portion of the measurement and determining whether it is closer to the previous whole litre or the next whole litre. For example, if a measurement is 3.7 litres, rounding to the nearest litre would result in 4 litres, as 3.7 is closer to 4 than to 3.
you use the 4 litre bucket to feel the 9 litre bucket then empty the 9 when it is full till you end up with 6 in it as follows you put 2 buckets of 4 into 9 then 1 litre from 4 to fill 9 then empty 9 put remaining 3 into 9 put 4 more in then 2 to fill 9 and empty put remaining 2 in then 4 more giving you 6 litres ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My way: (Mechanical Engineering Student) Take the 9l bucket filled to capacity and use it to fill the 4l bucket twice leaving you with 1l remaining in the 9l bucket. Next, pour that 1l into the 4l bucket. Fill the 9l to capacity again. Using the 9l bucket fill the 4l bucket to capacity leaving you with 6l total in the 9l bucket.
It is 4.0 litres.
