Answer 1

Answer:

13/20 cups

Explanations:

The recipe makes 10 Pancakes with 13/4 cups of milk

The recipe will make 1 pancake with x cups of milk

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }(13)/(4)/10 \\ x\text{ = }(13)/(4)*(1)/(10) \\ x\text{ = }(13)/(40) \\ \end{gathered}`

The recipe will make 1 pancake with 13/40 cups of milk

The recipe will make 2 pancakes with (2 x 13/40) cups of milk

= 26 / 40

= 13 / 20

The recipe will make 2 pancakes with 13/20 cups of milk
