A recipe calls for 2 cups of milk for every 6 1/4 cups of flour. If you increase the flour to 43 3/4 cups, how many cups of milk will you use?

Respuesta :

First you must convert 1/4 to a decimal which is 0.25 then multiply that by 6= 1.5, so for every 1.5 cup of flour, you add 2 cups of milk basically.
If you increase the flower to 43 3/4, you need to again, turn 3/4 into a decimal which is 0.75 and multiply 0.75 by 43 = 32.25, then 32.25 divided by 1.5 = 21.5

CONCLUSION: You will use 21.5 cups of milk!

Answer:

14 cups of milk are required

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]6\ ^\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cups of flour = [tex]6+ \frac{1}{4}=6.25[/tex] cups of flour

[tex]43\ ^\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of flour = [tex]43+\frac{3}{4}=43.75[/tex] cups of flour

We know that for every 6.25 cups of flour, 2 cups of milk are required.

So we use this as a conversion factor:

[tex]\frac{2\ cups\ of\ milk}{6.25\ cups\ of\ flour}[/tex]

If for every 6.25 cups of flour, 2 cups of milk are required, then for 43.75 cups of flour, how many cups of milk are required?

[tex]43.75\ cups\ of\ flour*\frac{2\ cups\ of\ milk}{6.25\ cups\ of\ flour}=14\ cups\ of\ milk[/tex]
