Answer:

Explanation:

The ingredients of the recipe is for 6 people.

The recipe calls for 6 people milk needed =
2(2)/(3) cups

=
(8)/(3) cups

for 1 person milk needed =
((8)/(3))/(6)

=
(8)/(3* 6)

=
(8)/(18)

=
(4)/(9) cups of milk

Brian decided the recipe for 4 people.

For 4 people milk needed =
(4)/(9)* 4

=
(16)/(9)

=
1(7)/(9) cup of milk

For 8 people milk needed =
(4)/(9)* 8

=
(32)/(9)

=
3(5)/(9) cup of milk

The recipe calls for 6 people oil needed =
(1)/(4) cups

for 1 person oil needed =
((1)/(4))/(6)

=
(1)/(24)

for 4 people oil needed =
(1)/(24)* 4

=
(4)/(24)

=
(1)/(6) cups

For 8 people oil needed =
(1)/(24)* 8

=
(8)/(24)

=
(1)/(3) cups

Brian needed milk for 4 people
1(7)/(9) cups

and milk for 8 people
3(5)/(9) cups

Brian needed oil for 4 people
(1)/(6) cups

and oil for 8 people
(1)/(3) cups

6 people number of cup of milk = 2 2/3 cups = 8/3 cups.

1 people number of cup of milk = 8/3 ÷ 6 = 8/3 × 1/6 = 4/9 cup of milk.

2 people number of cup of milk = 2× 4/9 cup of milk = 8/9 cup of milk.

8 people number of cup of milk = 8/3 + 8/9 = 24/9 + 8/9

= 32/9 = 3 5/9 cups of milk.

6 people number of cup of oil = 1/4.

1 people number of cup of oil = 1/4 ÷ 6 = 1/4 × 1/6 = 1/24.

2 people number of cup of oil = 2 × 1/24 = 1/12.

8 people number of cup of oil = 1/4 + 1/12 = 4/12 + 1/12 = 5/12 cup of oil .

Therefore, she need
3(5)/(9) cups of milk and
(5)/(12) cup of oil.
