See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

First, let's call the amount of flour that will be needed: f

We can write the rations as:

7:6 -> 650:f or

7/6 = 650/f or

6/7 = f/650

Now, multiply each side of the equation by color(red)(650) to solve for f while keeping the equation balanced:

color(red)(650) xx 6/7 = color(red)(650) xx f/650

3900/7 = cancel(color(red)(650)) xx f/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(650)))

557 = f

Russ will 557 mg of flour rounded to the nearest mg.
