Suppose a recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of liquid made of milk and water. If 1 2/3 cups of milk are used, how much water is needed?

Answer:

1/3 * 3 = 1 cup of milk

1/2 * 3 = the amount of water needed per cup of milk

1/2 * 3 = 3/2 or 1.5

The recipe calls for 1.5 cups of water per cup of milk.

Hope this helps!

The quantity of water in the liquid is 5/6 cups

How to subtract fraction

  • Total cups of liquid (milk and water) = 2 1/2 cups

  • If cups of milk = 1 2/3 cups

Water = Total cups of liquid - cups of milk

= 2 1/2 - 1 2/3

= 5/2 - 5/3

  • The least common denominator is 3× 2 = 6

= (15-10) / 6

= 5/6 cups
