Answer:

6 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have a glass, a jar, and a pitcher and together, they hold 54 liters.

We are told that the jar has the same volume as 3 glasses and the pitcher has the same volume as 5 glasses. In other words, let g denote glasses, j denote jars, and p denote pitchers:

[tex]g+j+p=54[/tex]

Since  jar is the same as 3 glasses, this means that j=3g. And since the pitcher is the same as 5 glasses, this means that p=5g. Substitute:

[tex]g+(3g)+(5g)=54[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]9g=54[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9. The left cancels:

[tex](9g)/9=54/9\\g=6[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the glass is 6 liters.

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 6 \ liters}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of the glass be x.

Let the volume of the jar be y.

Let the volume of the pitcher be z.

[tex]\sf y = 3x \\\\z = 5x[/tex]

[tex]\sf x + y + z = 54[/tex]

Substitution method.

[tex]\sf x+3x+5x=54[/tex]

Combining like terms.

[tex]\sf 9x = 54[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 9.

[tex]\sf x = 6[/tex]

The volume of the glass is 6 liters.
