Question

A family drinks 2 gallons of milk in 3 days,

At that rate, how many gallons will the family
drink in 15 days?

Answer 1

Answer: This is what I have tried --

5 gallons : 3 weeks = x gallons : 52 weeks

5/3 = x/52 (cross multiply)

3x = 260 (divide by 3)

x = 86.6 or 87 gallons

Step-by-step explanation: hope this is right

Answer 2

10 gallons of milk

Explanation:

This question is a ration every three days the family drinks 2 gallons of milk (3:2) to find how much they would drink in 15 days all you would have to do is multiple both numbers by 5 to get 15:10. This represents how much milk they drink in 15 days.
