Answer:

4 gallons/1 day

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a rate? A rate is writing a ratio in fraction form. A ratio is the proportion of two things. (ex: for every 1 dog, there are two cats.)

Creating the ratio: For the ratio, there is no given amount of which one needs  to come first, but because it is about the milk, I put that first. In the problem it says 12 gallons for 3 days so: 12/3

Simplifying: To simplify, think of the largest factor between the two numbers. If you can't immediately, think of one factor in common and keep simplifying. In this case, 4 is the greatest common factor between these. To simplify, divide both sides by four, and that is your answer: 4: 1
