1 1/6 cups of milk = 6 / 6 + 1 / 6 = 7 / 6 cups of milk
Proportion:
3 cups of flour 2 cups of flour
-------------------- = ---------------------
7 / 6 cups of milk x cups of milk
3 2
------ = ---
7 / 6 x
Solve for x:
3 ∙ x = 2 ∙ 7 / 6
3 x = 2 ∙ 7 / 2 ∙ 3
3 x = 7 / 3
Multiply both sides by 3
9 x = 7
Divide both sides by 9
x = 7 / 9 cups of milk
OR
2 cups of flour / 3 cups of flour = 2 / 3
2 / 3 ∙ 1 1/6 = 2 / 3 ∙ 7 / 6 = 14 / 18 = 2 ∙ 7 / 2 ∙ 9 = 7 / 9 cups of milk
A recipe uses 3 cups of flour to 1 1/6 cups of milk. if you have 2 cups of flour how much milk should u use

My typo:
3 2
------ = ---
7 / 6 x
means
3 / ( 7 / 6 ) = 2 / x
3 2
------ = ---
7 / 6 x
means
3 / ( 7 / 6 ) = 2 / x
