each day, Foster uses 4 bags of milk for tea for her family and tenant. In how much of a day will they use 1/2 of a bag of milk?

Question

I do not have any other details to add

Answer 1

To solve this problem, set up what is given to us: 4 bags of milk are used per day or 4 bags/ 1 day. We want to find how much time (which is in day) it will take to use 1/2 bag.

 

So, next is setting up the fractions:

 

4 bags/ 1 day= (1/2 bag)/ x day

 

Cross multiply the fractions to get this:

 

4 bags * x day = 1/2 bag * 1 day

 

Divide by 4 from both sides to get the answer:

 

x= (1/2)/4

 

x=1/8

 

So it will take 1/8 of a day to use 1/2 of a bag of milk.
