Answer:
[tex]5\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens:
- The recipe requires [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of milk.
- The scale factor is [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
So, to calculate the final number of cups of milk, we just have to sum both numbers, but first we have to transform them from mixed number to fractional numbers:
[tex]2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3} \\2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
So, the sum would be
[tex]\frac{8}{3}+\frac{5}{2}=\frac{16+15}{6}=\frac{31}{6}=5\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Therefore, we should put [tex]5\frac{1}{6}[/tex] cups of milk due to the increase.
