Muthu uses 7 cups of flour and 3 cups of milk to make the dough. His friend, Laili, wants to try the same recipe but she reduces a cup of flour and adds 2 cups of milk compared to Muthu's dough. What is the ratio of the number of cups of flour to the number of cups of milk used by Laili?

SOLUTION:

Find the ratio of the number of cups of flour to the number of cups of milk used by Laili.

• Flour used by Lili: 7 cups - 1 cup = 6 cups
• Milk used by Laili: 3 cups + 2 cups = 5 cups

The ratio of the number of cups of flour to the number of cups of milk used by Laili is 6 : 5.
