Question

A recipe for pancakes calls for 1 cup of pancake mix and 3/4 cup of milk. How much milk is needed to make 1/2 the recipe

Answer 1

A recipe for pancakes cals for 1 cup of pancake mix and 3/4 of milk. How much milk is needed to make 1/2 the recipe?

(3/4)/ (1/2) = 1.5

Answer 2

If we need to have 3/4 cup of milk for a whole recipe
For half of it, we will multiply 3/4 by 1/2 to get the result.

3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8

To make half the recipe, we need only 3/8 of a cup of milk.
The information 1 cup of pancake mix is irrelevant because the question asks only about how much milk is needed.
