a family uses 2.5 quarts of milk per day. How many gallons of milk does the family use in 75 days? Which expression can be used to solve this problem?

Respuesta :

there are 4 quarts in one gallon, thus

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} quarts&days\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ 2.5&1\\ x&75 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.5}{x}=\cfrac{1}{75}[/tex]

solve for "x"

that'd give you how many quarts in 75 days, divide it by 4, to get the gallons
the answer is 46.875
