Question

Your baking cupcakes for the school dance, and your recipe makes 24 cupcakes and needs 2 cups of milk. You need to make 288 cupcakes, how many quarts of milk will you need ?

Answer 1

You would need 6 quarts of milk. You would do 24(2) then you take 48 and divide it by 288 and you get 6.

Answer 2

To find your answer you need to divide the total number of cupcakes needed to be made by the number of cupcakes you can make with your recipe 288 ÷ 24 = 12. Since you use 2 cups of milk you first need to convert the cups to quarts. One cup equals 0.25 quarts so every 4 cups equal one quart: 12 x 2 = 24; 24 ÷ 4 = 6. You will need 6 quarts of milk.
