GPT 3.5
To find out how many fluid ounces of milk are needed, we first need to determine the ratio of flour to milk in the original recipe:
3 cups of flour per 2 fluid ounces of milk
Next, we need to set up a proportion to find out how many fluid ounces of milk are needed when using 18 cups of flour:
3 cups / 2 fluid ounces = 18 cups / x fluid ounces
Cross multiply:
3x = 36
Divide by 3:
x = 12
Therefore, when using 18 cups of flour, the culinary student will need 12 fluid ounces of milk.
