The Garcia family started the day with 2 gallons of milk. They drink 1 quart of milk for breakfast and 3 pints for lunch. How many pints of milk did the Garcia family have left after lunch?

The Garcia family have left 11 pints of milk after lunch.

Step-by-step explanation

The Garcia family started the day with 2 gallons of milk.

As we know there is:

1 gallon = 8 pints or 4 quarts

Therefore, 2 gallons = 16 pints or 8 quarts

1 Quart = 2 pints

Now we place all the data in pints

The Garcia family started the day with 16 pints (2 gallons) of milk.

They drink 1 quart (2 pints) for breakfast and 3 pints for lunch.

Drank total milk = 2 pints + 3 pints = 5 pints

Now they left after lunch = 16 - 5 = 11 pints.

The Garcia family have left 11 pints of milk after lunch.

3 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 pints of milk in 1 gallon. There is also 4 quarts in 1 gallon. So each quart is 2 pints.

After breakfast they had 3 quarts of the original gallon left since 4 - 1 = 3.

3 quarts is the same as 6 pints. They drank 3 pints at lunch. This means 6 - 3 = 3. After lunch, there were 3 pints left.
