A recipe calls for 1 ¾ cups of milk for 8 servings. If the recipe is increased to 24 servings, how many cups of milks are needed?
24/8=3
3*1 3/4=3 9/4=3+2 1/4=5 1/4 cups
Thank you! That is a lot of help!
To find out how many cups of milk are needed for 24 servings, we need to determine the amount of milk required per serving and then multiply it by the number of servings.
Given that the original recipe calls for 1 ¾ cups of milk for 8 servings, we divide the amount of milk by the number of servings to find the amount per serving.
1 ¾ cups ÷ 8 servings = 0.21875 cups per serving
Now, we can multiply the amount of milk per serving by the number of servings required (24) to find the total amount of milk needed.
0.21875 cups per serving × 24 servings = 5.25 cups of milk
Therefore, 5.25 cups of milk are needed for 24 servings when the recipe is increased.
