The daily consumption of milk by a family is [tex]$3 \frac{1}{5}$[/tex] liters. Calculate the total amount (in liters) of milk consumed by the family in the month of March 2023.



Answer :

Sure, let's break this down step-by-step.

1. Determine daily milk consumption:
The daily milk consumption of the family is given as [tex]\(3 \frac{1}{5}\)[/tex] liters. To make calculations easier, we convert this mixed number into an improper fraction or decimal.
[tex]\[ 3 \frac{1}{5} = 3 + \frac{1}{5} = 3 + 0.2 = 3.2 \text{ liters} \][/tex]

2. Determine the number of days in the month:
In a typical month, we can assume there are 30 days for simplicity.

3. Calculate total milk consumption for the month:
To find the total amount of milk consumed in the month, we need to multiply the daily consumption by the number of days in the month.
[tex]\[ \text{Total consumption} = \text{daily consumption} \times \text{number of days} \][/tex]
Substituting the values we have:
[tex]\[ \text{Total consumption} = 3.2 \text{ liters/day} \times 30 \text{ days} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total consumption} = 96 \text{ liters} \][/tex]

4. Conclusion:
The family consumes 3.2 liters of milk daily and a total of 96 liters of milk during the month.

Therefore, the daily consumption of milk is [tex]\(3.2\)[/tex] liters, and the total milk consumption by the family during the month is [tex]\(96.0\)[/tex] liters.
