John eats a bowl of cereal for 3 of his 4 meals each day. he finishes two gallons of milk in eight days. how much milk does john use for one bowl of cereal? (assume he only uses the milk for his cereal.)

John eats an unhealthy amount of cereal, but we'll ignore that for now.

John eats cereal three times a day, so in eight days he will have used his milk 24 times. (3×8=24)

These 24 uses finish 2 gallons of milk. So 1 gallon of milk should be finished in half of those uses.

24 ÷ 2 = 12 uses per gallon of milk

He uses 1/12 a gallon of milk per bowl of cereal.

Hope this helps!
