Question

Margaret is making strawberry milkshakes for the kids party. The recipe calls for 2/3 of a cup of strawberry syrup to make 11 milkshakes. How many cups of strawberry syrup are needed to make 132 milkshakes.?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Rule of three:

If:

$\frac{2}{3} cup$-----$11 milkshakes$

$?$-----$132 milkshakes$

Then:

$?=\frac{(\frac{2}{3} cup)(132 milkshakes)}{11 milkshakes}$

$?=8 cups$

This means Margaret needs 8 cups of strawberry syrup to make 132 milkshakes.
