Charlotte Lakes Kretz using 5/8 cup of milk for every 1/2 cup of flour. She wants to know the amount of milk she uses per cup of flour.
To find the amount of milk Charlotte uses per cup of flour, we can set up a ratio:
5/8 cup of milk : 1/2 cup of flour
x cup of milk : 1 cup of flour
Cross multiply to find x:
(5/8) * 1 = (1/2) * x
5/8 = 1/2 * x
5/8 * 2/1 = x
10/8 = x
x = 5/4
Therefore, Charlotte uses 5/4 or 1 1/4 cups of milk per cup of flour.
