a recipe requires 1 3/4 cups of milk for every 2 1/3 cups of flour. How many cups of milk are needed for each cup of flour? Enter your answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number in simplest form.
To find the ratio of milk to flour, we first need to find a common denominator for 1 3/4 and 2 1/3.
1 3/4 = 7/4
2 1/3 = 7/3
So the ratio of milk to flour is:
(7/4) / (7/3) = (7/4) x (3/7) = 21/28 = 3/4
Therefore, for every cup of flour, 3/4 cups of milk are needed.
