Answer:

12

Explanation:

Let's create a ratio of flour to milk.

Flour : Milk

6 cups: 2 cups

Multiply both sides of the ratio by 2.

x cups : 4 cups

x = 12

We can check.

6/2 = 3

This means that flour/milk is 3

12/4 is 3, so we have the right answer.

Answer is 12

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!
