Question

A recipe for ricotta cheese calls for 3/4 cup of whole milk for every 1/8 teaspoon of salt how much whole milk should be used for every teaspoon of salt

Answer 1

6 cups of whole milk is used for every teaspoon of salt.

Explanation:

Given:

A recipe for ricotta cheese calls for 3/4 cup of whole milk for every 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

Now, to find the cup of whole milk should be used for every teaspoon of salt.

So, to get the cup of whole milk used we use unitary method:

For every 1/8 teaspoon of salt cup of whole milk used = 3/4 cup.

Thus for every teaspoon of salt cup of whole milk used = 3/4 ÷ 1/8.

`=(3)/(4)* (8)/(1)` (changing the division to multiplication the fraction reciprocals.)

`=(24)/(4)`

`=6\ cups.`

Therefore, 6 cups of whole milk is used for every teaspoon of salt.
