Question

cooper is measuring ingredients for his special dessert. He needs a total of 70.4 mL of milk and melted butter. The recipe calls for 30.6 mL of butter. How much milk, m, does cooper need for his recipe?

Answer 1

70.4 - 30.6 = 39.8 ml of milk is needed

Answer 2

Cooper needs a total of 70.4 mL of milk and butter for his recipe.

The recipe calls for 30.6 mL of butter.

So the rest of it should be milk.

How much? Total - Butter = Milk

Hence we have,

`70.4-30.6=39.8`

So, Cooper needs
`m=39.8` mL of milk.

ANSWER: m = 39.8 mL (milk)
