Answer: A cow produced approximately 6 gallons of milk per day.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

1 gallon = 8.5 pounds

Quantity of milk per day cow produces = 53 pounds

1 pound =
(1)/(8.5)\ gallon

53 pounds would be


(1)/(8.5)* 53\\\\=6.23\ gallons

Hence, a cow produced approximately 6 gallons of milk per day.
