Question

andrea has 8 pints of milk if he drinks 3/4 of a pint each day how long will 8 pints of milk last how do you solve it?

Answer 1

Answer:

32/3 or 10 2 / 3 days

Explanation:

To find out how long the milk will last, we divide the amount of milk by the amount consumed each day.

amount of milk = 8 pints

amount of milk consumed each day = 3/ 4 pint

therefore, the number of days the milk last is

$\frac{8}{3/4}$

which can be turned into multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the denominator

$8\cdot\frac{4}{3}$$=\frac{32}{3}$

as a mixed fraction, the above is

$10\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, the milk will last 32/ 3 or 10 2/3 days.
