Question

A recipe calls for 3/5 gallon of milk. how much milk is needed to make half the recipe

Answer 1

Answer:

3/10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the recipe for 1 serving calls for 3/5 gallons of milk.

We want to know what 1/2 a serving calls for. Let's set up a proportion:

(1/2) / 1 = x / (3/5) , where x is the amount of milk needed for 1/2 the recipe

Cross-multiply:

x * 1 = (1/2) * (3/5)

x = 3/10

The answer is thus 3/10 gallons.
