Problem
A recipe that makes servings of hot chocolate requires squares of chocolate, cup sugar, cup water and cups milk. Jordan has squares of chocolate, cups of sugar, lots of water, and cups of milk. If he maintains the same ratio of ingredients, what is the greatest number of servings of hot chocolate he can make?
Solution
Assuming excesses of the other ingredients, the chocolate can make servings, the sugar can make servings, the water can make unlimited servings, and the milk can make servings. Limited by the amount of milk, Jordan can make at most servings.
