Question

7. A recipe calls for 2 eggs to make 10
Pancakes. How many eggs will you to make 35 pancakes?

Answer 1

10/2=5 pancakes for every egg

35/5=7

7 eggs

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

If 2 eggs make 10 pancakes, you can set up a proportion to find out how many eggs are needed for 35 pancakes:

2 eggs is to 10 pancakes as x eggs is to 35 pancakes

So the setup would be:

2 eggs / 10 pancakes = x eggs / 35 pancakes

To solve for x (the number of eggs needed for 35 pancakes), you can cross multiply and then solve for x:

2 × 35 = 10 × x

70 = 10x

To find x, divide both sides by 10:

x = 70 / 10

x = 7

So, you'll need 7 eggs to make 35 pancakes.
