Question

Kiki's family drank a total of 42.5 gallons of milk in January and February. Her family drank 5.3 gallons more milk in February than in January. How many gallons of milk did Kiki's family drink in February?

Answer 1

42.5 ÷ 2 = 21.25
21.25 - 5.3 = 15.95
21.25 + 5.3 = 26.55
15.95 + 26.55 = 42.5 gallons
January = 15.95 gallons
February = 26.55 gallons
