Sagot :

Answer:

0.5 pounds of butter.

Explanation

X pounds for 0.25 gallons.

0.5 gallon of cream - 1 pound of butter

0.25 gallons of cream - X pounds of butter

Applying cross multiplication:

0.5X = 0.25

X = 0.25 over 0.5 or 0.25/0.5

X = 0.5

Therefor, you could make 0.5 pounds of butter with 0.25 gallons of cream.
