I think the store you should buy from is the $3.00 per gallon.
For the second store, you would have to pay $6.40

Hope this helped!

Answer:

We should buy at Store 1

Explanation:

To compare both stores , we have to get the price of 2 gallons of milk in each of them.

Store 1 sells 1 gallon for $3.00

So, 2 gallons will be

Price = $3.00 x 2 = $6.00

Store 2 sells milk for $0.80 per quart.

Each gallon has 4 quarts, so 2 gallons will be 8 quart

Price = $0.80 x 8 = $6.40

Store 2 is more expensive than Store 1 , so we should buy at Store 1
