To calculate the Total Milk Usage (TMU):
\[ TMU = P \times C \times D \]
Where:
Milk usage refers to the total volume of milk consumed over a certain period of time. This is an important measure for households, cafeterias, and food service providers to estimate the amount of milk needed for consumption or for planning purposes. Understanding milk usage can help in budgeting and reducing waste by purchasing appropriate quantities.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Step 1: Multiply the number of people by daily consumption per person:
\[ 4 \times 0.5 = 2 \text{ gallons/day} \]
Step 2: Multiply the result by the number of days:
\[ 2 \times 7 = 14 \text{ gallons} \]
The Total Milk Usage is 14 gallons.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Step 1: Multiply the number of people by daily consumption per person:
\[ 10 \times 0.8 = 8 \text{ gallons/day} \]
Step 2: Multiply the result by the number of days:
\[ 8 \times 5 = 40 \text{ gallons} \]
The Total Milk Usage is 40 gallons.
