A recipe calls for 2 cups of flour and 1 1/4 cup of milk to make 5 servings, ming has plenty of flour, but only 4 cups of milk. How many servings can he make?

Answer 1

4 divided by 1 1/2 =

4/1 divided by 3/2 =

4/1 * 2/3 =

8/3 =

2 and 2/3

He can make 2 and 2/3 = 8/3 times the recipe

Since the recipe makes 5 servings each,

8/3 * 5/1 = 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 servings
