sorry they drink 5/8 gallons per day

Answer 10

Bah, the site glitched out on me.

Anyhow, you know the number of gallons and how many gallons the family drinks per day. Dividing the gallons by the gallons per day gives you the number of days.\[4 gallons \div \frac{ 5/8 gallon }{ day } = 4 \div \frac{ 5 }{ 8 } = 4*\frac{ 8 }{ 5 } = 6.4 days\]This makes sense, since the less milk they drink per day, the more days the milk will last.

Answer 17

kay thnx @longboardman15

Answer 18

5/8=0.625

0.625*4=2.5

Answer 19

oh okay

Answer 20

Er, no. The family drinks 0.625 gallons of milk per day. 4 gallons will last 6.4 days, not 2.5 days.

I'll type up an explanation and post it in a few minutes.

Answer 21

then what is the answer i just need the answer please

Answer 22

i just told you

Answer 23

first you do 5/8

Answer 24

that equals 0.625

Answer 25

then you do 0.625*4

Answer 26

and then you get 2.5

Answer 27

Krissy, you need to divide by 0.625, not multiply.

Answer 28

i think its 6 2/5 right ?

Answer 29

?????????????

Answer 30

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh to mush mathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Answer 31

exactly i hate math

Answer 32

i good at it but dang

Answer 33

A rate is measured in how much of something happens per some unit of time. For example, speed limits are measured in miles per hour. 30 MPH means that for every hour you travel, you go thirty miles.

If you drive for three hours, you'll go 90 miles.

I used a similar method to solve your problem. The family drinks 5/8 gallons of milk per day (0.625 gallons/day). After two days, they will have drunk 10/8 gallons of milk (1.25 gallons). After four days, they'll have gone through 20/8 gallons of milk (2.50 gallons).

To get how long four gallons of milk will last, you need to divide the amount they have by how much they drink per day.

4 / 0.625 = 6.4 days

This makes sense, since the less they drink per day, the longer it will last. For comparison:

One gallon per day: 4 / 1 = 4 days
Two gallons per day: 4 / 2 = 2 days
One half gallon per day: 4 / 0.5 = 8 days
One quarter gallon per day: 4 / 0.25 = 16 days

Answer 34

By the way, 6.4 days = 6 2/5 days. The former is in decimal form; the latter is in the improper fraction form.

Answer 35

just someone please just tell me the answer

Answer 36

The answer's been laid out thrice in my responses. Give 'em a read, perhaps?

Answer 37

please just tell me the answer

Answer 38

"By the way, 6.4 days = 6 2/5 days"

That would be answer choice A.

It's highly important that you understand how this works, however, since you can't ask for help on quizzes and tests. I can try a few other ways to explain it if need be.

Answer 39

yes i already said that the answer is a
