See Answer?

Step 1. Pour 2.4 litres container of juice into 1.1 litres and 0.5 litres container
2.4-1.1-0.5 = 0.8 litres (in 2.4 litres container)

Step 2. Pour 0.5 litres container of juice completely into 1.3 litres container. Fill up 1.3 litres container completely with juice from 1.1 litres container. There will be 0.3 litres of juice left in 1.1 litres container.

Step 3. Next, pour 1.3 litres container of juice into the empty 0.5 litres container.
1.3-0.5 = 0.8 litres (in 1.3 litres container)
2.4-0.8-0.8 = 0.8 litres. (in the other 2 containers)
