Question

A recipe calls for 9 tablespoons of milk for every 21 cups of flour. If the chef puts in 168 cups of flour, how many tablespoons of milk must the chef add? Show your work.

Answer 1

Since you use 9 tablespoons per 21 cups, you need to first divide 168 by 21 and get 8. Then you will take 8 times 9 and get 72 tablespoons of milk.
