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?

Respuesta :

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 <==

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] gallons a day she drink.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marie bought [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] 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  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gallon of milk

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

In 6 days = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gallon

In 1 days = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{6}[/tex] gallon

In 1 days = [tex]\frac{1}{2\times 6}[/tex] gallon

In 1 days = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] gallon

Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] gallons a day she drink.
