For this case we have to convert the mixed numbers into fractions:
[tex]6 \frac {1} {4} = \frac {4 * 6 1} {4} = \frac {24 1} {4} = \frac {25} {4}\\43 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 43 3} {4} = \frac {172 3} {4} = \frac {175} {4}[/tex]
We propose a rule of three:
2 milk -----------> [tex]\frac {25} {4}[/tex] flour
x -------------------->[tex]\frac {175} {4}[/tex]
Where "x" represents the amount of milk for [tex]\frac {175} {4}[/tex] cups of flour.
[tex]x = \frac {\frac {175} {4} * 2} {\frac {25} {4}}\\x = \frac {\frac {350} {4}} {\frac {25} {4}}\\x = \frac {350 * 4} {25 * 4}\\x = 14[/tex]
Thus, 14 cups of milk will be used
Answer:
14 cups
