1) 3 1/2 / 8 = x/14
2) 8/ 3 1/2= x/14
3) 3 1/2 / 14=x/8
4) 14/8= x/ 3 1/2
PLEASE



Answer :

naǫ
8 servings require 3 1/2 cups of milk
x servings require 14 cups of milk

When the number of servings increases, the number of required cups of milk also increases. The ratio of servings to cups of milk is constant, so:
[tex]\frac{8}{3 \frac{1}{2}}=\frac{x}{14}[/tex]

The answer is 2).
