Alex combined 5 ounces of chocolate syrup with 2 cups of milk to make chocolate milk. Using the same recipe, how many ounces of chocolate syrup would be needed for 7 cups of milk?

x- ounces of chocolate syrup


(5)/(x) = (2)/(7) \\ x = (5 * 7)/(2) \\ x = 17.5

17,5 ounces of chocolate syrup would be needed for 7 cups of milk
