Question

Dan mixed 2 parts of milk and 3 parts of syrup to make a drink. How many parts of milk did Dan mix with each part of syrup?

Answer 1

The question seems a bit vague. But I think they're asking how many parts of syrup goes with 1 part milk, and how many parts of milk go with 1 part syrup. Though I could be wrong.

Answer 2

well idk really i dont know math i need your helppppp

Answer 3

im so confused about this question

Answer 4

If my assumption is correct, then think of it like an equation like so
2 parts milk = 3 parts syrup

Answer 5

If we divide both sides by 2, then "2 parts milk" turns into "1 part milk". Agreed?

Answer 6

agreed

Answer 7

What happens when we divide both sides by 2

Answer 8

So you'll need to divide 3 over 2

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

1.5

Answer 11

yes, so 1 part milk corresponds to 1.5 parts syrup
1.5 = 1 & 1/2

Answer 12

So you can think of it like 1 cup milk goes with 1 and a half cups of syrup maybe

Answer 13

so the answer is 1.5

Answer 14

Oh wait I just reread the problem. I know what your teacher wants now

Answer 15

Answer 16

" How many parts of milk did Dan mix with each part of syrup?"

So think of it as "how many parts of milk go with 1 part syrup"

Answer 17

again we have
2 parts milk = 3 parts syrup

we'll divide both sides by 3 to turn the "3 parts syrup" into "1 part syrup"

Answer 18

ok

so roughly 0.667 parts milk correspond to 1 part syrup

Answer 34
