Answer:

1/2c

Explanation:

A breakfast chef used different amounts of ill when

making pancakes, depending on the number of panes ordered. The results are shown below.

1/2c, 1/4c, 1/2c, 3/4c, 1/2c, 3/4c, 1/2c, 1/4c, 1/2c, 1/2c

What is the average amount of milk used for an order of pancakes?

Average amount of milk used for an order of pancakes = {1/2c + 1/4c + 1/2c + 3/4c + 1/2c + 3/4c + 1/2c + 1/4c + 1/2c + 1/2c} ÷ 10

= {6(1/2c) + 2(1/4c) + 2(3/4c)} ÷ 10

= {6/2c + 2/4c + 6/4c} ÷ 10

= {3c + 1/2c + 3/2c} ÷ 10

= {(6+1+3) / 2}c ÷ 10

= 10/2c ÷ 10

= 5c ÷ 10

= 5/10c

= 1/2c

The average amount of milk used for an order of pancakes = 1/2c
