A recipe calls for one and on fourth cups of milk for ever one and one and one in a half cups of flour.How many cups of flour will you need for 1 cup of milk
Plz help me
can anyone help me
(3/2) / (5/4) = c / 1
c = (4/5) * (3/2)
To find out how many cups of flour you will need for 1 cup of milk, you can set up a ratio using the given information from the recipe.
The ratio states that for 1 and 1/4 cups of milk, you need 1 and 1/2 cups of flour.
Let's simplify the ratio:
1 and 1/4 cups of milk : 1 and 1/2 cups of flour
To simplify this ratio, we need to find a common denominator for both fractions. The common denominator for 4 and 2 is 4. Converting the fractions, we have:
5/4 cups of milk : 3/2 cups of flour
Now, cross multiply to find the number of cups of flour needed for 1 cup of milk:
(5/4) cups of milk x (2/3) cups of flour = 10/12 cups of flour
To simplify this fraction further, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
10/12 ÷ 2/2 = 5/6 cups of flour
Therefore, you will need 5/6 (or approximately 0.83) cups of flour for 1 cup of milk.
