Answer 1

Question:

A recipe uses 5 cups of milk to make 20 servings. If the same amount of milk is used for each serving how many servings can be made from two pints? How many cups are two pints?

Answer:

Remember that two cups are equal to one pint. Therefore, if we were to use two pints, it would mean we are using four cups.

Then, let's use a rule of three:

Thus,

`\begin{gathered} 5* x=4*20\text{ }\rightarrow x=(80)/(5) \\ x=16 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, we can make 16 servings if we're using two pints
