Answer 1

The total number of gallons of milk sold is equal to the total number of gallons of orange juice sold. This is because there are 2 quarts in a half-gallon, so the 14 half-gallon containers of milk sold is equal to 28 quarts. Therefore, the total amount of milk sold is the same as the total amount of orange juice sold, which is 28 gallons.
