Daisy's milk cow provides 16 cups of milk per day. 75% of the milk is consumed by Daisy's kids. Daisy uses 50% of the remaining milk to cook with. How much milk is left over? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
The cow provides 16 cups of milk per day and the kids consume 75% so they drink 16 * .75 = 12 cups of milk. The cow provides 16 cups of milk and the kids drink 12 cups leaving 16 - 12 = 4 cups of milk. Daisy uses 50% of the remaining 4 cups of milk to cook with so she uses .50 * 4 = 2 cups of milk. She had 4 cups of milk and used 2 cups to cook with so that leaves 4 - 2 = 2 cups of milk.
Therefore, the answer is 2.
