Question

Q15.A recipe calls for 1 cup of milk for every 2cups of flour to make a cake that would feed 6persons. How many cups
of both flour and milk will be needed to make a similar cake for 18 people?

Answer 1

6 person = 1 cup milk + 2.5 cup flour

1 person = 1/6 cup milk + 2.5/ 6 cup flour

8 person = 8/6 milk +( 2.5 × 8)/ 6 flour

total cup of both item = 8/6 + 20/ 6

= 28/ 6 = 14/3 = 4.66 cup

Answer 2

Cake for 6 people = 1 cup milk and 2 cups flour
Cake for 18 people= 3 times more than 6 people
Cake for 18 people = 1 cup milk x 3= 3 cup milk
Cake for 18 people = 2 cups flour x 3= 6 cups flour
Cake for 18 people = 6 cups flour and 3 cups milk
