Answer:
The total number of spoons=6 of syrup will make 4 gallons of chocolate milk
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine number of gallons in a spoon
The expression can be as follows;
T=g×n
where;
T=total gallons of milk
g=quantity per spoon
n=number of spoons of chocolate syrup
In our case;
T=2 3/5 gallons
g
n=3 2/6 spoons
replacing;
2 3/5=g×3 2/6
13/5=g×20/6
g=13/5×6/20
g=39/50 gallons
Each spoon of chocolate syrup makes 39/50 gallons of chocolate milk
Step 2: Determine number of spoons to make 4 gallons
n=T/g
n=4/(39/50)=(4×50/39)=5 5/39 spoons
The total number of spoons=6
