Question

A crepe recipe calls for 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, and 1 cup of milk. How much flour would you need if you use 5 eggs?

Answer 1

2 1/2 cups of flour

Explanation:

If you are multiplying the amount of eggs by 2 1/2 then that means you need to multiply the amount of everything else by 2 1/2 also.

Answer 2

Answer: 2.5 cups of flour is needed for 5 eggs.

Explanation:

The crepe recipe calls for 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, and 1 cup of milk. This means that the ratio of eggs to cup of flour to cup of milk required is 2:1:1

Therefore, if you use 5 eggs, the proportions would increase by 2.5. Multiplying by 2.5, it becomes

5 : 2.5 : 2.5

Therefore, you would need 2.5 cups of flour for 5 eggs.
