A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour and 1(1/2) cups of milk to make 5 servings. If there is plenty of flour, but only 5 cups of milk. How many servings can be made?

Answer 1

3/2 cups milk make 5 servings

1 cup milk makes 5/(3/2) = 10/3 servings

5 cups milk make = 10/3*5 = 50/3 = 16(2/3) servings

So only 16 servings are possible (servings cannot be in fraction).
