Question

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?

Answer 1

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!
Hope this helped:))

Answer 2

Answer:

14 cups of milk are required

Step-by-step explanation:

$6\ ^\frac{1}{4}$ cups of flour = $6+ \frac{1}{4}=6.25$ cups of flour

$43\ ^\frac{3}{4}$ cups of flour = $43+\frac{3}{4}=43.75$ 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:

$\frac{2\ cups\ of\ milk}{6.25\ cups\ of\ flour}$

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?

$43.75\ cups\ of\ flour*\frac{2\ cups\ of\ milk}{6.25\ cups\ of\ flour}=14\ cups\ of\ milk$
