Question

A recipe uses 4 cups of milk to make 12 servings. If the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can be made from three gallons? Before you try that problem, answer the question below. How many cups will you need to find the number of servings for?

Answer 1

Answer:

144 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We convert 3 gallons to cups

1 gallon = 16 cups

3 gallons = x cups

x = 3 × 16 cups

x = 48 cups

Step 2

If

4 cups of milk = 12 servings.

48 cups of milk = x servings

Cross Multiply

4 × x = 48 × 12

x = 48 × 12/4

x = 144 servings

Therefore, 3 gallons of milk(48 cups) = 144 servings
