To find out how many sweet potato pies Martina can make with 6 cups of milk, we need to divide the total amount of milk by the amount required for one pie.
The recipe requires 3/4 cup of milk per pie, so we can set up the following equation:
6 cups ÷ (3/4 cups/pie) = ?
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply the dividend (6 cups) by the reciprocal of the divisor (3/4 cups/pie), which is 4/3 pies/cup.
So, multiplying 6 cups by 4/3 pies/cup gives us:
6 cups × (4/3 pies/cup) = 24/3 = 8 pies
Therefore, Martina can make 8 sweet potato pies with 6 cups of milk.
