Answer 1

Answer:

The quantity of flour needed = 2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:
`\begin{gathered} Milk=1(2)/(3)flour \\ \\ Milk=(5)/(3)* flour \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} Cups\text{ of milk used = 3}(3)/(4) \\ \\ Cups\text{ of milk used = }(15)/(4) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} Milk=(5)/(3)* flour \\ \\ (15)/(4)=(5)/(3)* flour \\ \\ flour=(15)/(4)/(5)/(3) \\ \\ flour=(15)/(4)*(3)/(5) \\ \\ flour=(9)/(4) \\ \\ flour=2(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

The quantity of flour needed = 2 1/4
