    Option (B) 50

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Milk used per day = 1200 pound of milk

    Number of pounds of milk required to make 1 gallon = 12

    Number of pounds hours per day required = 1200 pound * 4 hours

    = 4800 pounds-hours required per day

    Therefore,

    For 8 hours a day, total pounds of milk required

    = [ pounds-hours required per day ] : 8 hours

    = 4800 : 8

    = 600 pounds

    Hence,

    600 pounds will make = 600 : 12

    = 50 gallon of ice cream

    Option (B) 50
