Mrs. Chung had 3/4 gallon of milk at the start of her children's lunch. At the end of lunch she noticed she had 1/3 gallon left.

a) what fraction of a gallon of milk was used at lunchtime?

b) If there are 128 fluid ounces in one gallon, how many fluid ounces of milk were consumed?

The answer is C...duh

a.) 5/12

Ahh snap Dark C rules.

a) to get the answer, this is your equation...

3/4 - x = 1/3. to get the value of x, move 1/3 to the other side of the equation. the equation should be x = 3/4 - 1/3. when you get that answer, b should be fairly easy.

there's your answer.

5/12 of galon
10 2/3 of that thingie


what is a galon, and what is that flu..something?

How about..... Do your own homework!!!

as for b) it would be (128*5)/12 which would be 53.333... ...odd number. 53 1/3

Great! Thanks everyone, and now 2.5 homework can wait...

J, do you have dyslexia or something...?

I'm just a retard in Math.

You have to have some sort of learning disorder to do math at that level at your age...

idk, doctors never say anything plus I always worried about what I liked more than learning in school, always.

Hmm.

But that's like Elemantary School Algebta

Well since 5/12 of the gallon of milk was used ... if one gallon consists of 128 of this fluid ounce stuff you have to divie the 128 by 12 and multiply it with 5 to get the result.

oh..right..forgot to multiply by 5...and later i didn't know where you got that 5 from dunce

I need some rest. crybag
