Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. The cream will be 1/4 cup if the  milk contains 2% fat, the cream contains 18% fat, and the mixture contains 6% fat. I think its 1/4 because about 25% is fat and 25 x 4 = 100 assuming that the "100" is the cup. So 25% is 1/4 of the cup.

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that milk and cream are mixed together for a recipe. The total volume of the mixture is 1 cup.

Let x cups of milk be mixed with 1 cup of cream

Total fat in the mixture = 0.02x+0.18

=6% of x+1 = 0.06(x+1)

i.e. 0.02x+0.18 =0.06x+0.06

0.04x = 0.12

x =3

So 3 cups of milk and 1 cup of cream would be mixed

Or B) 1/4 cup cream would be mixed
