Question

Mai's family drink a total of 10 gallons of milk every 6 weeks. How many weeks does it take the family to consume 3 gallons of milk?

Answer 1

1.8 weeks

Explanation:

The number of weeks it takes for consuming the 3 gallons of milk is as follows:

It is given that the total of 10 gallons of milk drink for every 6 week i.e. 5 by 3

Now in order to determine the weeks we have to reciprocal the ratio i.e. 3 by 5

Now for 3 gallons it would be

`= (3)/(5)* 3`

= 1.8 weeks
