a family drinks 2 gallons of milk in 3 days. at that rate, how many gallons will the family drink in 15 days?
To find out how many gallons the family will drink in 15 days, we need to determine their rate of milk consumption per day.
The family drinks 2 gallons of milk in 3 days, so they drink 2/3 = <<2/3=0.6666666666666666>>0.67 gallons of milk per day.
Therefore, in 15 days, the family will drink 0.67 x 15 = <<0.67*15=10.05>>10.05 gallons of milk.
The family will drink approximately 10.05 gallons of milk in 15 days.
