Question

Johnny combined 7 4 cups of pancake mix and 3 4 of a cup of water to make pancake batter. If he uses 1 4 of a cup of batter to make each pancake, how many pancakes can Johnny make from his batter?

Answer 1

Johnny can make 10 pancakes from his batter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pancakes Johnny can make, we need to find the total amount of batter he has and divide it by the amount of batter needed for each pancake. Johnny combined 7/4 cups of pancake mix and 3/4 of a cup of water, which equals 10/4 cups of batter. Since he uses 1/4 of a cup of batter for each pancake, we divide the total batter by the batter needed for each pancake: (10/4) ÷ (1/4) = 10/4 x 4/1 = 40/4 = 10 pancakes.
