A recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups of milk and makes 10 servings. How many cups of milk are needed for 8 servings? (Hint: Set up a proportion, don’t forget to label!)

2.8 or 2 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's our proportion of cups of milk to servings

3 1/2:10      For my sake I'm using decimals

3.5:10

Now let's try to get our servings to 1 (a unit rate)

0.35:1         I divided by 10 on each side

We need 8 servings not 1 so let's multiply 8 on each side

2.8:8

In case you want it in fraction form we can do 2 8/10 and simplify it to 4/5 by dividing by 2. Our answer is 2.8 or 2 4/5 cups of milk for 8 servings.

y + 11 = (1/4)(x + 16)

16.80 times .20= 3.36
