Given:
Mr. Greenwood bought 1/2 gallon of milk.
His family members drank 3/4 of the milk for breakfast.
To find:
How many gallons of milk did they drink ?
Solution:
We have,
Total milk = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] gallon
Milk drink by them = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] of the milk
= [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] gallon
= [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] gallon
Therefore, they drink [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] gallon of milk.
