A recipe requires 3 2/3cups of milk for every 1/8 of a cup of flour. How many cups of

milk are required for each cup of flour?

we know that

3 2/3cups of milk -------> 1/8 of a cup of flour

so

To find out how many cups of milk are required for each cup of flour, multiply the cups of milk by 8

but first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

3 2/3=3+2/3=11/3

Multiply by 8

(11/3)8=88/3 cups of milk

convert to mixed number

88/3=87/3+1/3=29+1/3=29 1/3 cups of milk
