Question

Pheng-Xu drinks 1 cup of milk every day for lunch. How many gallons of milk does he drink in 2 weeks?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{7}{8}$ gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Pheng-Xu drinks 1 cup of milk every day for lunch.

1 week = 7 days

2 weeks = 2*7 days = 14 days.  

First of all, we will find number of cups needed by Pheng-Xu in two weeks by multiplying 1 by 14.

$\text{Number of cups of milk needed}=1\times 14$

$\text{Number of cups of milk needed}=14$

1 US fluid gallon equals 16 cups of milk.

Now, we will divide 14 by 16 to find gallons of milk needed by Pheng-Xu.

$\text{Gallons of milk needed}=\frac{14}{16}$

$\text{Gallons of milk needed}=\frac{2*7}{2*8}$

$\text{Gallons of milk needed}=\frac{7}{8}$

Therefore, Pheng-Xu needs $\frac{7}{8}$ gallon of milk.
