A cake recipe calls for 1.5 cups of milk and 3 cups of flour. Seth made a mistake and used 5 cups of flour. How many cups of milk should he use to keep the proportions correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

we are told that the ratio of milk to flour is 1.5cups to 3 cups

in other words, to prepare cake we need 1.5 cup of milk and 3 cups of flour

if we use 5 cups of flour we can balance up using the relation below

      1.5cups of milk require 3 cups of flour

      x cups of milk require 5 cups of flour

cross multiply we have

x=1.5*5/3

x=7.5/3

x=2.5cup of milk

6 spoons of sugar for every 21 cups of flour
