Lorenzo’s class visits a dairy farm to learn about milk production. They learn that the 25 cows on the farm must be milked twice per day (every morning and
evening). Together, the cows produce 1,050 gallons of milk per week.
1. How much milk does each cow produce in one day? Show your calculations, and be sure to include units.
2. The farm keeps 20 gallons of the milk produced each day to use on the farm and sells the rest of the milk to a distributor to be sold in stores. The farm
packages 10 gallons of the milk it keeps into gallon containers. The remaining 10 gallons are divided so that 5 gallons will be divided among one-quart
containers, and 5 gallons will be divided among one-pint containers.
a. Find the number of one-quart containers needed each day. Show your calculations.
b. Find the number of one-pint containers needed each day. Show your calculations.
c. Explain how you would find the number of one-quart and one-pint containers needed each week.
