☆ CONTENT QUALITY ANSWER REQUIRED ☆

Answer 1

Let x cups of milks are required then 5x/2 cups of flour will be required
so total no of cups = x + 5x/2 = 7x/2
for 6 person 7/2 cups are reqired
for 1 person 7/2/6 i.e. 7/12 cups are required
for 8 person ( 7/12 )×8 = 14/3 cups
so 7x/2 = 14/3
=> x = 4/3

Answer 2

hi buddy

here's your answer looking for

sum of cups of milk and flour =
$\\ 1 + \frac{5}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{2 + 5}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{7}{2}$

the cups required to feed one person =

$\frac{7}{2} \div 6 \\ \\ = \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{1}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{7}{12}$
cups required to feed 8 person = cups required to feed one person × 8

$\frac{7}{12} \times 8 \\ \\ = \frac{56}{12} \\ \\ = \frac{14}{3}$

so, 14/3 is correct answer
