Question

A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of milk. Mason is going to use 7 cups of sugars instead. how much flour and milk should he use so that the recipe stays the same

Answer 1

We need to make a conversion for the new recipe. If the regular recipe calls for 2 cups of Sugar, we can make a conversion for the new recipe.

Explanation:

Conversion- 2:7= 1:4 (sugar)

2:7 (sugar)

3: x (flour)

X= 8 (flour)

Y= 6 (milk)

NEW RECIPE:

3.5 cups of milk

10.5 cups of flour

7 cups Sugar

We found this by seeing the new recipe adds 5 more cups with the original amount :)

Answer 2

3.5 cups of milk and 10.5 cups of flour
