Hi,

A pancake recipe requires one and one third cups of milk to one cup of flour.

If three and one third cups of milk is used, what quantityx of flour will be needed...

  %284%2F3%29%2F1+=+%2810%2F3%29%2Fx   |||Cross Multiplying to solve

 %284%2F3%29x+=+%2810%2F3%29

         x = %283%2F4%29%2810%2F3%29=+%2810%2F4%29  2  1/2 cups of flour
