Answer:

The value is
`s = 12 \ gallons`

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of milk drinkers considered is
`m = 100`

The number of skim milk drinkers
`n = 50`

The gallons of milk supplied is q = 23 gallons

Generally the proportion of skim milk drinkers is mathematically represented as

`p = (n)/(m)`

`p = 0.5`

Generally the gallons of milk order that is skim milk is mathematically represented as

`s = 0.5 * 23`

=>
`s = 12 \ gallons`
