Question

A recipe uses 5 cups of flour to 1 1/10 of milk. If you have 2 cups of flour, how much milk should you use?

Answer 1

Given:

A recipe uses 5 cups of flour to 1 1/10 of milk.

We will find the amount of milk if we have 2 cups of flour

So, we can write the following ratio

Milk : Flour

11/10 : 5

x : 2

We can find (x) using the cross product:

$x=\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{11}{10}=\frac{11}{25}$

So, the answer will be 11/25 milk
