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

A. 2.5 cups milk
B. 1.75 cups milk
C. 2 cups flour
D. 2.25 cups milk

a 2.5 cups of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3=x/5 then that equals 3x=7.5 and then  x=2.5

5.25 ounces

step-by-step explanation:

divided 3/4 and 6

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
