Enough water has been poured.

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden needed water in a week = 5 liters

Jacob poured water on Monday = 326 ml = (326 / 1000) liters = 0.326 liters.

SEAN poured water on Tuesday = 1.5 liters

Gavin poured water on Wednesday = 2312 ml = (2312 / 1000) = 2.312 liters.

Stephen poured water on Thursday = 894 ml = (894 / 1000) = 0.894 liters

The total amount of water poured by all these people = 0.326 + 1.5 + 2.312 + 0. 894 = 5.032 liters

Here we can see that water has been poured is more than the water required in a week.
