Answer: 57.5

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to multiply the number of cups of flour per cup of milk times 5.

Step 1: Find how many cups of flour per cup of milk.

23/2 = 11.5 cups of flour per cup of milk

Step 2: Multiply the cups of flour per cup of milk, times the 5 cups of milk.

11.5 * 5 = 57.5 total cups of flour
