Jug of height 1.5 cm :)    x liters in smaller jug  x:7=1.5:8  8x=7×1.5  x=((10.5)/8)=1.3125 liters.
$$\left.\mathrm{Jug}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{height}\:\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5}\:\mathrm{cm}\::\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${x}\:{liters}\:{in}\:{smaller}\:{jug} \\ $$$${x}:\mathrm{7}=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5}:\mathrm{8} \\ $$$$\mathrm{8}{x}=\mathrm{7}×\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{10}.\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{8}}=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{3125}\:{liters}. \\ $$
