Answer 1

Given:

Mr. Greenwood bought 1/2 gallon of milk.

His family members drank 3/4 of the milk for breakfast.

To find:

How many gallons of milk did they drink ?

Solution:

We have,

Total milk = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ gallon

Milk drink by them = $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of the milk

                               = $\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{2}$ gallon

                               = $\dfrac{3}{8}$ gallon

Therefore, they drink $\dfrac{3}{8}$ gallon of milk.

Answer 2

Answer: His family drank 3/8 gallon of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Total milk =  1/2 gallon

Milk drink by them =  3/4 of the milk

                              = 3/4 x 1/2 gallon

                              =  3/8 gallon

Therefore, they drink  3/8 gallon of milk.
