Question

Laura was making a recipe that said the ingredients were for 6 people but ache needed tho make it for 8 people the recipe called for 2 2/3 cups of milk and 1/4 cups of oil house many cups of these liquid ingredients did she need for 8 people

Answer 1

Amount of milk needed for 8 people will be
`3(5)/(9)` cups.

Amount of oil needed for 8 people will be
`(1)/(3)` cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find amount of liquid ingredients for 8 people we will find amount of ingredients needed for 1 person and then we will multiply it by 8.

First of all we will convert amount of milk in improper fraction,

`2(2)/(3) =(8)/(3)`

We know that this amount is for 6 people so we will divide this amount by 6 to find amount for 1 person.

`\text{ Amount of milk needed for 1 person}=(8)/(3*6) =(4)/(9)`

`\text{ Amount of milk needed for 8 people} =(4*8)/(9)`

`\text{ Amount of milk needed for 8 people} =(32)/(9)=3(5)/(9)`

Therefore, amount of milk needed for 8 people will be
`3(5)/(9)` cups.

`\text{ Amount of oil needed for 1 person}=(1)/(4*6)`

`\text{ Amount of oil needed for 8 people} =(1*8)/(4*6)`

`\text{ Amount of oil needed for 8 people} =(1)/(3)`

Therefore, amount of oil needed for 8 people will be
`(1)/(3)` cups.
