Question

The average person drinks 1 pint of milk a day. At this rate, how many gallons will a person drink in a leap year

Answer 1

46 gallons!

1 pint x 364 days = 364 pints

1 pint is equal to 0.12500009 gallons

So, 364 x 0.12500009 = 46!

Answer 2

45.75 gallons

Explanation:

There are 365 days in a regular year. A leap year adds 1 more day so there are 366 days in a year.

Drinking 1 pint a day will result in 366 pints in a leap year.

To find the number of gallons, divide 366 / 8 since there are 8 pints in 1 gallon.

366 / 8 = 45.75 gallons
