Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

12 1/5 cups

Rationale:
We are given a ratio of 2/9 cup flour : 1 2/5 cup milk, and asked how much milk is needed when using 2 cups of flour. Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction 1 2/5 = 7/5 Step 2: Set up a proportion (2/9) / (7/5) = 2 / x Step 3: Solve the proportion (2/9) ÷ (7/5) = 2 / x => (2/9) × (5/7) = 2 / x => 10/63 = 2 / x Step 4: Cross multiply to solve for x 10x = 126 x = 126 / 10 x = 12.6 = 12 1/5 So, 12 1/5 cups of milk are needed when using 2 cups of flour.
