Answer 1

a. In this one you want to get one weeks worth of milk, so you divide 10 by 6
(1.67 gallons)
b. based on the above answer, you know that in one week they consume more than a gallon. Divide your answer from a by seven, then add until you get to one.
(About four days, so about halfway thru the week)
