Question

The Gilmore family uses up a 1/2 gallon jug of milk every 3 days. At what rate do they drink milk.

Answer 1

1/6 gallon per day

Explanation:

We must calculate the amount they drink per day, knowing that given 3 days they consume 1/2 gallon of milk, so we calculate it

`\frac{(1)/(2)\text{gallon}}{3\text{ days}}=(1)/(3\cdot2)=(1)/(6)\text{ gallon per day}`
