A dessert recipe calls for2 1/2 cups of milk how. Many cups of milk are needed for 8 servings?
How many servings for 2 1/2 cups of milk?
To find out how many cups of milk are needed for 8 servings, we need to determine the ratio of servings to cups of milk required.
Given that the recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of milk, we can write this as a mixed number: 2 + 1/2 cups.
Now, let's figure out the ratio:
Number of cups of milk ÷ Number of servings = Ratio of cups of milk per serving
In this case, the ratio would be:
(2 1/2 cups) ÷ (8 servings)
To simplify the mixed number, we can convert it into an improper fraction:
(2*2 + 1) ÷ (8 servings)
(4 + 1) ÷ (8 servings)
5/8 cups per serving
Therefore, for 8 servings, you would need 5/8 cups of milk.
