Question

Anton has 3 8/7​ cups of syrup that he serves with his pancake orders. He uses 2/3 cup of syrup for each pancake order. What is the maximum number of complete pancake orders that Anton can serve with the syrup he has?

Answer 1

6 3/14 pancake order s

Explanation:

The question above is calculated as:

2/3 cup of syrup = 1 pancake order

3 8/7 cups of syrup = x

Cross Multiply

2/3 × x = 3 8/7 × 1

x = 3 8/7 ÷ 2/3

x = 29/7 ÷ 2/3

x = 29/7 × 3/2

x = 87/14

x = 6 3/14 order

The maximum number of complete pancake orders that Anton can serve with the syrup he has is 6 3/14 pancake orders
