Question

A pancake recipe ask for 2 2/3 times as much milk as flour. if 4 1/3 cups of milk is used what quantity of flour would then be needed according to the recipe

Answer 1

Given:

Quantity of milk used = 4⅓ cups

The recipe asks for 2⅔ times as much milk as flour.

Let's find the amount of floor that would then be needed according to the recipe.

To find the quantity of floor needed, we have:

$F=4\frac{1}{3}\div2\frac{2}{3}$

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions:

$F=\frac{13}{3}\div\frac{8}{3}$

Change the division sign to mutiplication and flip the fraction on the right:

$F=\frac{13}{3}\ast\frac{3}{8}=\frac{13}{8}=1\frac{5}{8}$

Therefore, the quantity of flour that would be needed according to the recipe is 1⅝ cups.

ANSWER:

$1\frac{5}{8}\text{ cups of floor}$
