Answer:

1.5 gallons of milk left at the end of the day.

Explanation:

To determine how much milk the Garcia family had left after drinking some for breakfast and lunch, we need to convert the amounts to a common unit of measurement.

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

So, the Garcia family drank a total of 1 quart + (3 pints / 2 pints/quart) = 2 quarts of milk.

Therefore, they had 2 gallons - (2 quarts / 4 quarts/gallon) = 1.5 gallons of milk left at the end of the day.
