Vicky uses 1 2/3 cup milk for a muffin recipe. If she wants to make 3 times the amount of muffins, how much milk will she use?
5/3 x 3= 15/3
or 5 cups
lily has 8 cups of milk. She uses 2 cups of milk for a recipe. What fraction of the milk is left?
To figure out how much milk Vicky will use to make 3 times the amount of muffins, we first need to find out how much milk she uses for one batch of muffins.
Vicky uses 1 2/3 cup of milk for the original muffin recipe. To convert this mixed number into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (3), and then add the numerator (2). This gives us 3/3 + 2/3 = 5/3 cup of milk for one batch of muffins.
Since Vicky wants to make 3 times the amount of muffins, we need to multiply the amount of milk she uses for one batch by 3.
5/3 * 3 = 15/3 = 5 cups of milk
Thus, Vicky will use 5 cups of milk to make 3 times the amount of muffins.
