Question

Marie bought 1/2 gallon of milk, which she finished after 6 days. If she drank the same amount of milk each day, how many gallons a day did she drink?

Answer 1

`(1)/(12)` gallons a day she drink.

Explanation:

Given : Marie bought
`(1)/(2)` gallon of milk, which she finished after 6 days. If she drank the same amount of milk each day.

To find : How many gallons a day did she drink?

Solution :

According to question,

In 6 days Maria bought
`(1)/(2)` gallon of milk

We have to find the amount of milk she drank per day.

In 6 days =
`(1)/(2)` gallon

In 1 days =
`((1)/(2))/(6)` gallon

In 1 days =
`(1)/(2* 6)` gallon

In 1 days =
`(1)/(12)` gallon

Therefore,
`(1)/(12)` gallons a day she drink.

Answer 2

gallons per day.......gallons / day.....so u put the gallons over the number of days, then divide

(1/2) / 6 = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12 of a gallon per day <==
