Question

Marie bought 1/2 gallon of milk, which she finished after 6 days. If she drank the same amount of milk each day, how many gallons a day did she drink?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{12}$ gallons a day she drink.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marie bought $\frac{1}{2}$ gallon of milk, which she finished after 6 days. If she drank the same amount of milk each day.

To find : How many gallons a day did she drink?  

Solution :

According to question,

In 6 days Maria bought  $\frac{1}{2}$ gallon of milk

We have to find the amount of milk she drank per day.

In 6 days = $\frac{1}{2}$ gallon

In 1 days = $\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{6}$ gallon

In 1 days = $\frac{1}{2\times 6}$ gallon

In 1 days = $\frac{1}{12}$ gallon

Therefore, $\frac{1}{12}$ gallons a day she drink.

Answer 2

Gallons per day.......gallons / day.....so u put the gallons over the number of days, then divide

(1/2) / 6 = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12 of a gallon per day <==
