Laura was making a recipe that said the ingredients were for 6 people, but she needed to make it for 8 people. the recipe called for 2 2/3 cups of milk and 1/4 cup oil. how many of these liquid ingredients did she need for 8 people?
Answer:
\(3\frac{5}{9}\) cups of milk and \(\frac{1}{3}\) cups of oil for 8 people .
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups of milk for 6 people = \(2 \frac{2}{3} =\frac{8}{3}\)
Cups of milk for 1 people = \(\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{6}=\frac{4}{9}\)
Cups of milk for 8 people = \(\frac{4}{9} \times 8= \frac{32}{9}\)
Cups of oil for 6 people = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Cups of oil for 1 people = \(\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{6}= \frac{1}{24}\)
Cups of oil for 8 people = \(\frac{8}{24}=\frac{1}{3}\)
Hence \(3\frac{5}{9}\) cups of milk and \(\frac{1}{3}\) cups of oil for 8 people .
