As part of a pancake recipe, you mix 3/4 cup of milk for every 1 cup of flour to make 7 cups of batter. How much of each ingredient do you use?

That's exactly how it's written on my homework page.

OK. I misread the question. Sorry.

7/1.75 = 4

4 * 3/4 = 12/4 = 3 cups of milk
4 * 1 = 4 cups of flour

To determine the amount of each ingredient needed, we'll have to set up a proportion based on the given ratio.

Let's assume that "x" represents the number of cups of flour needed for the recipe.

Using the ratio of 3/4 cup of milk for every 1 cup of flour, we can set up the following proportion:

3/4 = 7/1

To solve this proportion, we cross-multiply:

3 * 1 = 4 * 7

3 = 28

Next, we'll isolate the variable "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 28:

x = 28/3

Simplifying, we get:

x β‰ˆ 9.33

Therefore, you would need approximately 9.33 cups of flour for the recipe.

To find the amount of milk, we can use the given ratio of 3/4 cup of milk for every 1 cup of flour. Since we determined that we need 9.33 cups of flour, we can calculate the amount of milk as follows:

9.33 cups of flour * 3/4 cup of milk per 1 cup of flour

= 9.33 * 3/4

= 28/4

= 7 cups of milk

Hence, you would need approximately 9.33 cups of flour and 7 cups of milk for the recipe.
