Question

A recipe calls for milk, flour and sugar in a ratio of 3: 5: 6. How much flour and milk would be needed if you need 4 cups of sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:

Milk: 2 cups

Flour: 5 cups

Sugar: 4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

(First divide all ingredients by 2)

Milk: 3 -> 1.5

Flour: 5 -> 2.5

Sugar: 6 -> 3

(Next, multiply all by 4)

Milk: 1.5 -> 6

Flour: 2.5 -> 10

Sugar: 3 -> 12

(Divide by 3)

Milk: 6 -> 2

Flour: 10 -> 5

Sugar: 12 -> 4

Answer 2

2 cups of milk and 10/3 cups of flour are needed, when the amount of sugar is 4 cups

How to determine the amount of floor and sugar?

The ratio is given as:

Milk : Flour : Sugar = 3 : 5 : 6

When the amount of sugar is 4 cups, we  have:

Milk : Flour : 4 = 3 : 5 : 6

Multiply by 4/6

Milk : Flour : 4 = 3 * 4/6 : 5 * 4/6: 6 * 4/6

Evaluate

Milk : Flour : 4 = 2 : 10/3: 4

By comparison, we have:

Milk = 2 and Flour = 10/3

Hence, 2 cups of milk and 10/3 cups of flour are needed
