Answer:

  (D) 9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to work this problem is to find % per cup for cereal and cups per % for milk, then multiply the product of those by 2.

The way we'll use here is to find the ratio of cups of milk to cups of cereal for the same % RDA.

We're given an amount of milk that has 25% of the RDA, but we want to find an amount that has 15% RDA. That amount of milk will be ...

  (15%)/(25%)(1 cup milk) = 3/5 cup milk

This tells us that 3/5 cup milk has the same %RDA as 2/3 cup cereal. That ratio is ...

  milk/cereal = (3/5)/(2/3) = (3/5)(3/2) = 9/10 cup of milk per cup of cereal

Then for 2 cups of cereal, we need ...

   (9/10)(2 cups cereal) = 9/5 cups milk . . . . matches choice D
