Answer:

She does not have enough milk to last for 1 week

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

Bonnie's doctor recommended that she drink 2cups of milk per day.

Step 1

The number of days in a week is 7 days

Hence

1 day = 2 cups of milk

7 days = x

Cross Multiply

x = 7 × 2 cups of milk

= 14 cups of milk.

Step 2

If she buys 3 quarts of milk,will it be enough milk to last 1 week?

We have the conversion rate as:

1 quart = 4 cups

Therefore,

1 quart = 4 cups

3 quarts = x cups

Cross Multiply

x cups = 3 quarts × 4 cups/1 quart

x cups = 12 cups of milk

This means she bought 12 cups of milk.

Therefore, from the above calculation, she does not have enough milk to last for 1 week because due to her doctor's recommendation, she need 14 cups of milk for the week but she only bought 12 cups of milk
