Given:

3 1/3 cups of milk to 1 cup of flour

3 3/4 cups of milk

So:


(3(1)/(3))/(3(3)/(4))=(1)/(x)

Simplify:


\begin{gathered} ((10)/(3))/((15)/(4))=(1)/(x) \\ (10*4)/(3*15)=(1)/(x) \\ (40)/(45)=(1)/(x) \\ (8)/(9)=(1)/(x) \end{gathered}

Solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 8\cdot x=1\cdot9 \\ 8x=9 \\ (8x)/(8)=(9)/(8) \\ x=(9)/(8)=1(1)/(8) \end{gathered}

Answer:


1(1)/(8)
