Question

a pancakes recipe asks for 3 and 1 half times as much milk as flour. if 4 and two thirds cups of milk is used, what quantity of flour would then be needed, according to the recipe?

Answer 1

A pancakes require 3.5 cups of milk and 1 cup of flour, or a ratio of 3.5:1 or a fraction of

(3.5) / (1)

If you have 4.6 cups of milk you need x cups of flour

Set up a ratio of

`(3.5)/(1)=(4.6)/(x)`

`x=(4.6)/(3.5)`
