Question

A recipe uses 5 cups of flour to 1 1/6 cups of milk. If you have 2 cups of flour, how much milk should you use?

Answer 1

ratio method:

2/5=milk/(7/6)

milk=2(7/6)/5=7/15 cup wouldn't that be fun to measure.

rate method: rate=cuplsmilk/cupflour
rate=7/6 / 5=7/30

cups milk=rate*flour=7/30*2=7/15 cup

Hello, ms sue can you break down bob's response. greatly appreciated

Answer 3

2/5 = x/(7/6)

5x = 14/6

x = (14/6) / 5

x = (14/6) * (1/5)

x = 14/30 = 7/15

Answer 4

7/15
