Question 907278: Hi, I'm really stumped and would love some help. A cafeteria is trying to scale a small pancake recipe up in order to feed a group of tourists. The recipe feeds 6 people and the cafeteria is trying to feed 75. The recipe calls for 4 cups of flour and 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of sugar. The real question is If there are 4 cups in a quart and 4 quarts in a gallon, will we more or less need a gallon of milk for this recipe?
