SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given the following:
A pancake recipe asks for one and one-half times as much milk as flour.
If three and one-half cups of milk are used, what quantity of flour would then be needed, according to the recipe?
Step 2:
The details of the solution are as follows:
The pancakes require 1.5 cups of milk and 1 cup of flour or a ratio of 1.5:1 or a fraction of
(1.5) / (1)
If you have 3.5 cups of milk you need x cups of flour
Set up a ratio of 1.5 / 1 = 3.5 / x
(1.5 divided by 1 equals 3.5 divided by x)
Cross multiply one numerator by the other denominator, and then the other way.
1.5x = 3.5
divide both sides by 1.5
x = 35/15 = 2 1/3 cups
CONCLUSION:
The quantity of flour that would be needed, according to the recipe =
