Question

a recipe uses 3 cups of milk to make one bowl of pudding how many bowls of pudding could be made by using 6 quarts of milk?

Answer 1

To solve this, we'll use two rules of three

The firts one will be to convert the quarts into cups:

Thereby,

$x=6\times4\rightarrow x=24$

6 quarts are 24 cups

The second one will be to know how many bowls of pudding we can make out of 24 cups of milk (6 quarts)

This way,

$y=\frac{24\times1}{3}\rightarrow y=8$

We can make 8 bowls of pudding out of 6 quarts of milk
