Question #f59b7

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, let's call the number of cups of milk: `m`

And, let's call the number of cups of flour: `f`

Then we can write:

`m = 1/4f`

In other words, to find the number of cups of milk needed, we divide the number of cups of flour needed by `4`.

Let's try it for 4 cups of flour which the problem tells us will require 1 cup of milk.

So, we can substitute `4` for `f` or the number of cups of flour giving:

`m = 1/4 xx 4`

`m = 4/4`

`m = 1`

Which is what the problem tells us our answer should be.
