Question

lessils used 25% of half a gallon (64 ounces) of milk for a recipe how many ounces of milk where left

Answer 1

Answer:

There were 48 ounces of milk left

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Lessils used 25% of half a gallon of milk

→ Assume that the total amount of the milk is 25%

∴ The amount of milk left = 100% - 25% = 75%

∵ Half gallon = 64 ounces

→ That means the amount of milk left is 75% of 64 ounces

∴ The amount of milk left = 75% × 64

→ Divide 75% by 100 to change it to decimal

∵ 75% = 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75

∴ The amount of milk left = 0.75 × 64

∴ The amount of milk left = 48 ounces

∴ There were 48 ounces of milk left
