A gallon of Moo Milk costs $5.12 $5.12. What is the price, in dollars, of an 888 ounce glass of Moo Milk?

Question

there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon

Answer 1

Hi Addy, set up a proportion to solve this problem. Let x represent the cost of the 888 ounces of Moo Milk. Convert 1 gallon of Moo Milk to 128 ounces.

The proportion:

128 / 5.12 = 888 / x

Cross multiply:

128x = 5.12 * 888

1282x = 4546.56

Divide both sides by 128:

x = 35.52

An 888 ounce class of Moo Milk will cost $35.52.
