Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\frac{5 }{6 } }\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

She has ⅝ pt of milk.

The recipe calls for ¾ pt of milk.

The fraction of the recipe is

[tex]\frac{ 5}{8 }\div\frac{ 3}{4 }\\[/tex]

Invert the divisor and change divide to multiply.

[tex]\frac{ 5}{8 }\div\frac{ 3}{4 } = \frac{5 }{ 8} \times \frac{4 }{3 }\\[/tex]

Cancel the 4s

[tex]\frac{5 }{ 8} \times \frac{4 }{3 } = \frac{5 }{ 2} \times \frac{1 }{3 }\\[/tex]

Multiply numerators and denominators.

[tex]\frac{5 }{ 2} \times \frac{1 }{3 } = \frac{5 }{6 }\\[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{ \textbf{She can make }\frac{5 }{6 } \textbf{ of the recipe.} }\\[/tex]
