Question

to make four and a half gallons of ice cream it takes 6 3/10 gallons of milk how many gallons of milk does it take to make one gallon of ice cream

Answer 1

To find how many gallons of milk it takes to make one gallon of ice cream, we need to find out the proportion of milk to ice cream, or the ratio. Given that 4.5 gallons of ice cream are made with 6.3 gallons of milk:

Step 1: Write down the ratio of milk to ice cream, this is 6.3 gallons of milk to 4.5 gallons of ice cream.

Step 2: To find out how much milk is needed for one gallon of ice cream, we need to divide the total gallons of milk by the total gallons of ice cream. In other words, you divide 6.3 by 4.5.

Performing this division, we get an answer of approximately 1.4.

So, it takes around 1.4 gallons of milk to make one gallon of ice cream.

Answer 2

ice cream = 4 1/2 gallons
milk = 6 3/10 gallons

ice cream: 4 1/2 = (4*2 + 1)/2 = 9/2
milk: 6 3/10 = (6*10 +3)/10 = 63/10

milk:ice cream proportion: a:b = c:d where a*d = b*c
a = 63/10 ; b = 9/2 ; c = x ; d = 1

63/10:9/2 = x:1
63/10 * 1 = 9/2 * x
63/10 = 9x/2
63/10 * 2 = 9x/2 * 2
126/10 = 9x
126/10 * 10 = 9x * 10
126 = 90x
126/90 = 90x/90
1 36/90 = x

x = 1 36/90 simplified to 1 13/30

1 13/30 gallons of milk will make 1 gallon of ice cream.
