A recipe calls for 2/5 cup of milk. How much milk should be used to make 1/4 of the recipe?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/(1/4) = 2/5 cup of milk/x....This means: 1 divided by 1/4 = 2/5 divided by x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the amount of cup of milk\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cross-multiply and solve for x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/4 times 2/5 = 1/10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 times x = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Final answer: x = 1/10 cup of milk should be used to make 1/4 of the recipe.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
