Question

When Mrs. Karas took the half-gallon of milk out of the fridge, she noticed it was 3/4 full. After breakfast, the carton was only 3/8 full. Since a half-gallon of milk is 64 ounces, how many ounces were used during breakfast?
This problem is so confusing.

Answer 1

First you need to multiply the 3/4 and 3/8 by 64.
Next you need to subtract the answer you get from 3/4 by 3/8.
This will give you the answer.
(The half gallon part doesn't matter since they are asking for the answer in ounces)

Answer 2

The answer is 24 ounces.
