The answer to your question would have to be 6 gallons.

Answer: A cow produced approximately 6 gallons of milk per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1 gallon = 8.5 pounds

Quantity of milk per day cow produces = 53 pounds

1 pound = \(\dfrac{1}{8.5}\ gallon\)

53 pounds would be

\(\dfrac{1}{8.5}\times 53\\\\=6.23\ gallons\)

Hence, a cow produced approximately 6 gallons of milk per day.
