Question

You buy milk at $3.48 per gallon. One portion of oatmeal requires 1 oz of milk. How much does the milk for one portion cost? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

3¢ or 0.03

Explanation:

To answer this, we just need to divide the price of a gallon by the amount of ounces in a gallon.

When we do this, we get the price of an ounce, or one serving.

There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon.

$3.48/128=0.02718... or 0.03.

The amount of milk for one portion, or one ounce, costs 3 cents.
