Answer 2

Owen has enough to make 3 1/2 of pancake mix.

Explanation:

Since the ratio is 1/8 cup of oil per cup of mix and Owen has 1/2 a cup of mix, he has enough to cover the 3 cups of mix since that would be 3/8 cups of oil. He has enough to cover 1/2 a cup as well because that'd be 1/16 cup of oil.
