Question

Eve drinks 3/16 gallon of milk each day. How many days will it take Eve to drink 3 gallons of milk?

Answer 1

18 days

Explanation:

3/16 x 6 = 1 2/16 x 3 = 3 6/16

6 x 3 = 18

Answer 2

Explanation:

Since Eve takes 3/16 gallon of milk each day,

1 day = 3/16 gallon

x days = 3 gallons

Cross-multiply

3/16x = 3

3/16x÷3/16 = 3/3/16

Reciprocate

x = 3 × 16/3

x = 16 gallons
