Answer:

[tex]9 \frac{3}{4}[/tex] sups of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that;

4 : 3 (this represents the proportion of cups of oats to cups of milk)

Now one has to find how many cups of milk will correspond with 9 cups of oats.

First, convert the given ratio to a unit ratio,

4 : 3

/4  /4

1 : [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Now multiply the entire ratio by 9 to find out how many cups of milk corresponds to 9 cups of oats;

9 : [tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex]

Simplify;

9 : [tex]9 \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
