At a store, 2 gallons of milk cost $6. which is the value of the ratio of dollars to gallons of milk?

3:1 or 3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the next information:

Gallons of Milk             Cost

           2                  ⇒     $6

dividing both quantities by two, we get the price for a single gallon of milk:

Gallons of Milk             Cost

           1                  ⇒     $3

We are asked for the ratio of dollars to gallons of milk (the order is important since dollars go first than gallons) so we will have the following:

dollars:gallons or dollars/gallons

and since $3 dollars pay for 1 gallon of milk, the ratio is:

3:1 or 3/1

1 3 5
