Question

You have a recipe that indicates to use 7 parts of sugar for every 6 parts of milk. You use 28 cups of sugar. How much milk do you need?

Answer 1

28 cups of sugar / 7 parts of sugar = 4 cups

If 4 cups is 1 part, 6 parts of milk would be 4 x 6

4 x 6

= 24

You would need 24 cups of milk.

Answer 2

7/6 = 28/x

To solve for x, you can cross-multiply:

7 * x = 6 * 28

Simplifying:

x = 6*28/7

x = 24

So, you would need 24 cups of milk.
