Question

Jordan needs 6 3/10 gallons of milk to make four and a half gallons of ice cream. how many gallons of milk would Jordan need to make 1 gallon of ice cream ?.

​

Answer 1

1 4/10
Answer: Convert 6 3/10 gallons of milk to 6.3 to make the steps to solve more easier ( not saying that you should do this every time) and 4 1/2 gallons of ice cream into 4.2. The reason why I say this bc 3 divided by 10 is equal to 0.30 and you add that to six. Same thing for the gallons of ice cream, divide 1 by 2 which is 0.5 and add that to six. Your equation afterwards should look like this : 6.3/4.5
The final answer to this equation is 1 4/10 because 6.3/4.5 = 1.4 ——> 1 4/10

Answer 2

it would take 1 4/10 gallons of milk to make 1 gallon of ice cream.

Explanation:

4.5/1=6.3/x

4.5x=6.3

x=1.4

hope that helps have a good day
