Question

A recipe uses cups of milk to make servings. If the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can be made using gallon of milk?

Answer 1

128 servings

Explanation:

A recipe Uses 1 1/4 cups of milk to make 10 servings if the same amount of milk is used for each serving how many servings can be made using one gallon of milk

Cups of milk : number of servings = 1 1/4 cups : 10 servings

One gallon of milk = 16 cups

Let x = number of servings

Cups of milk : number of servings = 16 cups : x

Equate both ratios

1 1/4 : 10 = 16 : x

5/4 ÷ 10 = 16/x

5/4 × 1/10 = 16/x

5/40 = 16/x

1/8 = 16/x

Cross product

1 * x = 8 * 16

x = 128 servings

Number of servings = 128
