PART 1:
Jeremy gives the correct answer.
The value of 0.41 [with a bar over the digit 4 and 1] shows that the digit 4 and 1 are reoccurring = 0.414141414141414141....
Jenny's assumption of 41/100 will give a decimal equivalency of 0.41 [without a bar over digit 4 and 1]. This value is not a reoccurring decimal value.
PART 2:
The long division method is shown in the picture below
PART 3:
As mentioned in PART 1, the result of converting 41/100 into a decimal is 0.41 [non-reoccuring decimal] while converting 41/99 into a decimal is 0.41414141... [re-occuring decimal]. The conjecture in PART 1 is correct

1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar
Solution:
1 cm = 1 ml
Capacity of ice cube = 1 cm
= 1 ml
Capacity of jar = 1.5 L
1 L = 1000 ml
1.5 L = 1.5 × 1000
= 1500 ml
Capacity of jar = 1500 ml
= 1500
Therefore 1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar.
