Question

Bertha has a cake recipe that requires four cups of flour, four eggs, one cup of sugar, three cups of milk and one teaspoon of vanilla. Bertha discovers that she has only three eggs. If she decides to adjust the recipe accordingly, how much mill will she need? How do I figure this?

Answer 1

Since she only has 3 eggs and needs 4, then you need to take 3/4 of the other ingredients too.
