PLEASE HELP!!!

Amy, Dan, and Mike are competing in a cooking competition. They all used different amounts of milk from a container holding 6 gallons of milk.

Amy used 13% of the total milk in the container.
Dan used 0.14 of the total milk in the container.
Mike used 0.5 gallon of the total milk in the container.
Who used the greatest amount of milk from the container? Show your work and explain your answer in words.

Must use inverse operations

Answer 1

I'm not sure what your teacher means by "must use inverse operations".

Anyways, Amy uses 13% of the total milk (6 gallons). So she uses 0.13*6 = 0.78 gallons.

Then we're told that Dan used 0.14 of the total milk. So 0.14*6 = 0.84 to indicate Dan used more than Amy. Dan also used more than Mike because 0.84 gallons is larger than 0.5 gallons.

Answer: Dan used the most milk (0.84 gallons)
