Question

brian family drinks a gallon of milk in three days how much gallons of milk will brian family drink in five days

Answer 1

To calculate this, we have to establish a proportion :

If 1 gallon of milk is drunk in 3 days,​

X gallons will be drunk in 5 days​

X gallons = 1 gallon*5days/3days = 1.66 gallons will drink in 5 days.​

​We can round to the first decimal place 1.66 ≈ 1.7 gallons approximately.

Answer : 1.7 gallons will Brian family drink in five days, approximately.​

​Hope this helps!​​​​
