Question

A pancake recipe ask for 2 2/3 times as much milk as flour. if 4 1/3 cups of milk is used what quantity of flour would then be needed according to the recipe

Answer 1

Given:

Quantity of milk used = 4⅓ cups

The recipe asks for 2⅔ times as much milk as flour.

Let's find the amount of floor that would then be needed according to the recipe.

To find the quantity of floor needed, we have:

`F=4(1)/(3)/2(2)/(3)`

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions:

`F=(13)/(3)/(8)/(3)`

Change the division sign to mutiplication and flip the fraction on the right:

`F=(13)/(3)\ast(3)/(8)=(13)/(8)=1(5)/(8)`

Therefore, the quantity of flour that would be needed according to the recipe is 1⅝ cups.

ANSWER:

`1(5)/(8)\text{ cups of floor}`
