So if the cow can produce 2000 gallons of milk in 365 days, how many gallons can she produce in 1 day?
We find this by dividing 2000 by 365:

2000/365 = 5.4794 gallons of milk per day

Now, to find the amount of gallons she produces in 500 days, we simply multiply the number of gallons she produces in 1 day by 500:

5.4794 X 500 = 2,739.73 gallons in 500 days.
