Answer 2

the gas station sold 714.29 quarts each day

Explanation:

hello, i think I can help you with this

step 1

we need to find how many quart are in 1250 gallon

`4\ quarts\ of\ gallon\ = 1\ gallon \\\\\ x\ quartes =1250\ gallons\\\\`

using a rule of three and isolating x

`x=(1250\ gallons * 4\ quart)/(1\ gallon) \\x=5000\ quarts`

the gas station sells 5000 quarts per week

Step 2

find how many quarts the gas station sell in one day

1 week = 7 days

x week = 1 day

x=(1/7)

so, 1 day= (1/7) week

using a rule of three

5000 quarts ⇔ 1 week

x? quarts ⇔ (1/7) week

`x=(5000*(1)/(7) )/(1\ week) \\\x=714.285\ quarts\\`

the gas station sells 714.29 quarts each day

Have a great day
