As part of a pancake recipe, you mix 3/4 cup of milk for every 1 cup of flour to make 7 cups of batter. How much of each ingredient do you use?
OK. I misread the question. Sorry.
7/1.75 = 4
4 * 3/4 = 12/4 = 3 cups of milk
4 * 1 = 4 cups of flour
That's exactly how it's written on my homework page.
How did you solve this????? Plese respond asap
Thank you!
To determine the amount of each ingredient needed, we'll have to set up a proportion based on the given ratio.
Let's assume that "x" represents the number of cups of flour needed for the recipe.
Using the ratio of 3/4 cup of milk for every 1 cup of flour, we can set up the following proportion:
3/4 = 7/1
To solve this proportion, we cross-multiply:
3 * 1 = 4 * 7
3 = 28
Next, we'll isolate the variable "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 28:
x = 28/3
Simplifying, we get:
x ≈ 9.33
Therefore, you would need approximately 9.33 cups of flour for the recipe.
To find the amount of milk, we can use the given ratio of 3/4 cup of milk for every 1 cup of flour. Since we determined that we need 9.33 cups of flour, we can calculate the amount of milk as follows:
9.33 cups of flour * 3/4 cup of milk per 1 cup of flour
= 9.33 * 3/4
= 28/4
= 7 cups of milk
Hence, you would need approximately 9.33 cups of flour and 7 cups of milk for the recipe.
