Ms. Fanau really loves chocolate chip pancakes! The recipe calls for 3/4 of a cup of chocolate chips, 1/6 of a cup of butter, and 3 eggs. If she decided to make pancakes for her whole family, using 5 cups of chocolate chips, how many cups of butter and how many eggs would he need so that they still taste the same?

Answer:

if you have 3/4 and 1/6 and three eggs for the recipe then it would be 5 cups of chocolate chips 5 eggs 10/9 cups butter

20 eggs

therefore multiply butter and eggs by 3/20

example This is why ratios are helpful. This recipe has a different number of eggs, a different number of cups of flour, a different number of cups of sugar. But the ratios between the ingredients are the same. So, you will be able to have a cake that tastes the same, that essentially is the same cake but just is a different size.
