Question

Pheng-Xu drinks 1 cup of milk every day for lunch. How many gallons of milk does he drink in 2 weeks?

Answer 1

`(7)/(8)` gallon.

Explanation:

We have been given that Pheng-Xu drinks 1 cup of milk every day for lunch.

1 week = 7 days

2 weeks = 2*7 days = 14 days.

First of all, we will find number of cups needed by Pheng-Xu in two weeks by multiplying 1 by 14.

`\text{Number of cups of milk needed}=1* 14`

`\text{Number of cups of milk needed}=14`

1 US fluid gallon equals 16 cups of milk.

Now, we will divide 14 by 16 to find gallons of milk needed by Pheng-Xu.

`\text{Gallons of milk needed}=(14)/(16)`

`\text{Gallons of milk needed}=(2*7)/(2*8)`

`\text{Gallons of milk needed}=(7)/(8)`

Therefore, Pheng-Xu needs
`(7)/(8)` gallon of milk.
