Question

If Ryan uses only 3/8 cup syrup out of the giant bottle each time he eats pancakes, how many times will he be able to eat pancakes without running out of syrup?​

You are using 48 as you total cups.

Answer 1

128 times

Explanation:

Total cups = volume per meal × no. of meals

C = V × n

Divide each side by V

n = C/V = 48/(⅜)

Invert the fraction and multiply

n = 48 × ⁸/₃

Cancel 3s

n = 16 × 8

Multiply

n = 128

Ryan can eat pancakes 128 times from his giant bottle without running out of syrup.
