Question

Willow has 3/4 of a gallon of milk left that has an expiration date in 6 days. If she splits the milk equally among her next 6 bowls of cereal, how much milk will she use in each bowl

Answer 1

`(1)/(8)\ \text{gallons}`

Explanation:

Amount of milk remaining is
`(3)/(4)\ \text{gallons}`

Number of bowls is
`6`.

So, each bowl will contain

`((3)/(4))/(6)`

`=(3)/(4)* (1)/(6)`

`=(3)/(24)`

`=(1)/(8)\ \text{gallons}`

Hence, each bowl will have
`(1)/(8)\ \text{gallons}` of milk.
