Question

Michael wanted to make chocolate milk. He used proportional reasoning based on the table. If his glassonly holds 2.5 cups, how many tablespoons of chocolate syrup does he need?

Answer 1

First, we find the ratio between the cups of mils and the tablespoons of chocolate syrup

$\frac{6}{4}=1.5$

The ratio is 1.5, which means we have to multiply this ratio by 2.5 cups.

$2.5\times1.5=3.75$

So, Michael needs 3.75 tablespoons of chocolate syrup to its 2.5 cups glass.
