Answer: A. y = 16 x
B. 8 days
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Here, 16 Fluid ounces of milk is used for breakfast every morning.
In one day the consumption of milk = 16 fluid ounces
In x days the consumption of milk = 16 x fluid ounces
Thus, if y be the total milk in ounces that is used in x days,
The required function,
y = 16 x
B) In 1 day, consumption of milk = 16 ounces
⇒ ![16\text{ ounces milk } = 1 \text{ day}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=16%5Ctext%7B%20ounces%20milk%20%7D%20%3D%201%20%5Ctext%7B%20day%7D)
⇒ ![8\times 16\text{ ounces milk } = 8\times 1 \text{ day}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8%5Ctimes%2016%5Ctext%7B%20ounces%20milk%20%7D%20%3D%208%5Ctimes%201%20%5Ctext%7B%20day%7D)
⇒ ![128\text{ ounces milk } = 8 \text{ day}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=128%5Ctext%7B%20ounces%20milk%20%7D%20%3D%208%20%5Ctext%7B%20day%7D)
Since, 128 ounces = 1 gallon
⇒ ![1\text{ gallon milk } = 8 \text{ day}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%5Ctext%7B%20gallon%20milk%20%7D%20%3D%208%20%5Ctext%7B%20day%7D)
In 8 days, 1 gallon of milk will consumed.
