Answer:

 2[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a recipe uses 8[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of milk for every 3[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of oatmeal.

So, For each 8.75 cups of milk ,3.5 cups of oatmeal is required.

Or,

we can say 3.5 cups of oatmeal require 8.75 cups of milk.

Thus,

1 Cup of oatmeal will require  [tex]\frac{8.75}{3.5}[/tex] cups of milk.

                                              =   2.5 cups of milk .

Thus answer is 2.5 cups, Which we can write 2 + 0.5 cups

                                                                      =  2[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups (In mixed form)
