Apancake recipe requires one and one third cups of milk to one cup of flour. if four and two thirds cups of milk is used, what quantity of flour will be need
according to the recipe?

3 and a half cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using proportions:

milk to flour ratios

Find the scale factor for the increase of milk by dividing the second amount by the first amount.

Divide four and two thirds by one and one thirds.

The scale factor is 3.5.

Multiply the amount of flour by the scale factor to get the second amount.

Multiply one by 3.5.

1 X 3.5 = 3.5

3.5 = 3 1/2

We need 3 and a half cups of flour when there are four and two thirds cups of milk.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
