One store sells milk for $3.00 per gallon. A second store sells milk for $0.80 per quart. Formulas If you need two gallons, which store should you buy from?

Answer:

The first store.

Explanation:

This is easy, multiply 0.80 x 4 since there are four quarts in a gallon. You get 3.20. Then, multiply 3.20 by 2 to get 6.40 and 3.00 by 2 to get 6.00.

So

Store number one: $6.00

Store number two: $6.40

Answer:

You should buy from the first store

Explanation:

Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, we will need to multiply .80 by 8 to figure out how much it costs for 2 gallons. This will be $6.40 for the second store, and in order to find out how many the first store offers, we multiply 3 by two, which is six.


So, the first store charges $6.00 for two gallons, and the second store does $6.40 for two gallons of milk
