Question

A carton of milk holds 10 cups. a recipe for strawberry milkshake requires 3/4 of a cup of milk. how many recipes could you make with the carton of milk.

Answer 1

You can make 13 strawberry milkshakes with a 10-cup carton of milk, with each recipe requiring 3/4 cup of milk, leaving 1 cup of milk remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many recipes for strawberry milkshake you can make with a carton of milk that holds 10 cups, when each recipe requires 3/4 cup of milk, you would divide the total amount of milk by the amount needed per recipe.

Here is the calculation:

Total amount of milk in the carton = 10 cups

Amount of milk required per milkshake recipe = 3/4 cup

Number of recipes = Total amount of milk ÷ Amount per recipe = 10 cups ÷ (3/4) cups

Therefore:

Number of recipes = 10 ÷ (4/3)

Number of recipes = 40/3

Number of recipes = 13 with 1 cup of milk leftover, since 40 divided by 3 is 13 with a remainder of 1.

You can make 13 milkshakes and you would still have 1 cup of milk left over.

Answer 2

To figure this out, you need to divide the amount of milk in the carton, and the amount of milk in the recipe for the milkshake. In this example, we would be dividing 10 by 3/4ths which is 13.3333(repeating). So we could make this recipe 13 times.
