To find how many whole gallons of milk you can buy for $14 at each store, we can divide the amount of money by the price of a gallon of milk at each store.
At Walmart, a gallon of milk costs $2.79. So, at Walmart, you can buy 14/2.79 = 5.01 gallons of milk.
At Safeway, a gallon of milk costs $3.29. So, at Safeway, you can buy 14/3.29 = 4.26 gallons of milk.
Therefore, you can buy 5 whole gallons of milk at Walmart, and 4 whole gallons of milk at Safeway.

So, if you have $14 to spend, you wanna know how many full gallons of milk you can buy at Walmart and Safeway, right? Well, at Walmart a gallon of milk costs $2.79, so if we divide $14 by $2.79, we get around 5.01 gallons. But since you can't buy part of a gallon, you can buy 5 whole gallons. At Safeway, a gallon of milk is a bit more expensive, costing $3.29. If we divide $14 by $3.29, we get around 4.26 gallons. Again, you can only buy whole gallons, so you can buy 4 full gallons at Safeway.
If you have $32 to spend, how many pounds of apples can you buy with a gallon of milk at each store? Write and solve an equation to find your answer.
To find how many pounds of apples you can buy with a gallon of milk at each store, we need to compare the price of apples and the price of a gallon of milk at each store.
At Walmart, a gallon of milk costs $2.79. Let's assume the price of a pound of apples is "x" dollars. So, with $32, you can buy 32/2.79 = 11.47 gallons of milk.
Now, we need to find how many pounds of apples you can buy with 11.47 gallons of milk. Since the price of a gallon of milk is $2.79 and we assumed the price of apples is "x" dollars per pound, we multiply 11.47 and "x" to get the amount spent:
11.47 * $2.79 = 31.9973 dollars (approximately).
Since the amount spent on milk and the amount spent on apples should add up to $32, we can write the equation:
31.9973 + x = 32
Solving this equation, we find:
x = 32 - 31.9973
x = 0.0027.
Therefore, with a gallon of milk at Walmart, you can buy approximately 0.0027 pounds of apples.
Similarly at Safeway, you can repeat the above steps with the cost of a gallon of milk and the cost of a pound of apples at Safeway to determine how many pounds of apples you can buy with a gallon of milk at that store.
Write your own problem similar to the last question and then write and solve the equation showing how you got the answer.
Sure, here is a similar problem:
If you have $20 to spend, how many loaves of bread can you buy with a gallon of milk at Grocery Store #1? Write and solve an equation to find your answer.
Let's assume the price of a loaf of bread is "y" dollars.
At Grocery Store #1, a gallon of milk costs $2.79. So, with $20, you can buy 20/2.79 = 7.17 gallons of milk.
Now, we need to find how many loaves of bread you can buy with 7.17 gallons of milk. Since the price of a gallon of milk is $2.79 and we assumed the price of a loaf of bread is "y" dollars, we multiply 7.17 and "y" to get the amount spent:
7.17 * $2.79 = 20.0843 dollars (approximately).
Since the amount spent on milk and the amount spent on bread should add up to $20, we can write the equation:
20.0843 + y = 20
Solving this equation, we find:
y = 20 - 20.0843
y = -0.0843
Therefore, with a gallon of milk at Grocery Store #1, you cannot buy a loaf of bread as the calculated price is negative.

Alright, here's the problem for a 7th grader:
Imagine you have $20 to spend and you're at Grocery Store #1. You want to know how many loaves of bread you can buy using a gallon of milk. Let's say the cost of a loaf of bread is "y" dollars.
At Grocery Store #1, a gallon of milk costs $2.79. So, if you use $20 to buy milk, you can get 20/2.79 = 7.17 gallons of milk.
Next, we need to figure out how many loaves of bread you can buy with 7.17 gallons of milk. To do that, we multiply 7.17 and "y" (the cost of a loaf of bread):
7.17 * $2.79 = 20.0843 dollars (approximately).
Now, since we have $20 to spend, we need to check if we can buy a loaf of bread at that price. But 20.0843 + y = 20 doesn't work because y would be -0.0843, which doesn't make sense for the price of a loaf of bread.
So, unfortunately, with a gallon of milk at Grocery Store #1, you can't buy a loaf of bread within your budget of $20.
