Question

A recipe uses 3 cups of milk to make 9 servings. If the same amount of milk is used

for each serving, how many servings can be made from two quarts?

Answer 1

2
`(2)/(3)` servings.

Explanation:

There are 4 cups in one quart, so two quarts would be 8 cups.

`(3 cups of milk)/(1 serving)` =
`(8 cups)/(x servings)` cross multiply

3x = 8(1)

3x = 8 Divide both sides by 3

x =
`(8)/(3)` or 2
`(2)/(3)` servings.
