If a gallon of milk is 5.99 how many whole gallons can you buy for 14$ you can’t buy part of a gallon write and solve an equation to find your answer

Let's assume that you can buy "x" whole gallons for $14.

The cost of one whole gallon is $5.99.

Therefore, the equation can be written as:

5.99x = 14

To solve for "x", divide both sides of the equation by 5.99:

x = 14 / 5.99 ≈ 2.341

However, since you cannot buy part of a gallon, you can only buy 2 whole gallons for $14.
