Question

A recipe calls for 2/3 of cups of milk for 11 cookies. How many cups of milk are needed to make 165 cookies?

Answer 1

10 cups of milk

Explanation:

Make a proportion, where x is the number of cups of milk for 165 cookies:

`(2/3)/(11)` =
`(x)/(165)`

Cross multiply and solve for x:

11x = 110

x = 10

So, 10 cups of milk are needed to make 165 cookies
