Worked Solution

Step 1: Divide total milk by milk per recipe: 7 ÷ 2/3. Step 2: 7 ÷ 2/3 = 7 × 3/2 (multiply by the reciprocal of 2/3). Step 3: 7 × 3/2 = 21/2 = 10 1/2. Step 4: The question asks for complete recipes only, so take the whole number: 10. Answer: 10 complete recipes. Answer: 10

Correct answer: 10
