Miguel needs 3 gallons of milk to make 24 milkshakes. Calculate how much milk he needs to make 36 milkshakes by writing and solving a proportion (using any method)

Answer 1

Let x be the amount of milk Miguel needs to make 36 milkshakes.

Using a proportion:

3 gallons / 24 milkshakes = x gallons / 36 milkshakes

Cross multiply to solve for x:

3 * 36 = 24 * x
108 = 24x
x = 108 / 24
x = 4.5

Therefore, Miguel needs 4.5 gallons of milk to make 36 milkshakes.
