Question

4. How many whole gallons of milk can you buy for $14 at each store? Remember you can't buy part of a gallon. Write and solve an equation on your paper to find the answer. Type your final answer below.

Answer 1

To determine how many whole gallons of milk you can buy for $14 at each store, we need to know the price per gallon of milk at each store. Let's denote the price per gallon as \( p \).

The equation to find the number of whole gallons \( g \) is given by:

\[
g = \frac{14}{p}
\]

Where \( g \) is the number of gallons you can buy, and \( p \) is the price per gallon.

Since we don't have the specific prices per gallon for each store, let's assume you have the prices for two stores:

1. Store A: \( p_A \) dollars per gallon
2. Store B: \( p_B \) dollars per gallon

You would substitute the prices into the equation:

For Store A:
\[
g_A = \left\lfloor \frac{14}{p_A} \right\rfloor
\]

For Store B:
\[
g_B = \left\lfloor \frac{14}{p_B} \right\rfloor
\]

The floor function \( \left\lfloor x \right\rfloor \) indicates that you can only buy whole gallons, meaning we round down any non-integer results.

Once you have the price per gallon, you can plug in the values and calculate the number of whole gallons for both stores.

**Final Answer:**
Please provide the price per gallon from each store for specific calculations.
