Question

Here are the ingredients needed to make 8 pancakes.

250ml milk
1 egg
140g flour
5g butter

a) Simon makes 4 pancakes. Work out how much milk he needs.

b) Craig makes 12 pancakes. Work out how much butter he needs.

Answer 1

A- 6.4 grams of Butter (Fraction: 6 and 2/5)

B- 19.2 grams of Butter (Fraction: 19 and 1/5)

Explanation:

First you have to divide 5 by 8 to see how much butter is used for each pancake and then multiply the quotient of that by 4 and that would get you the answer to Part A. For Part B you use the quotient that you got for 8 divided by 5 and multiply it by 12 to get Part B.

Answer 2

simon needs 125 ml of milk for 4 pancakes.

craig needs 7.5 grams of butter to make 12 pancakes.

Explanation:

you take 250 ml of milk and divide that by 8. which then tells you how much milk you need per pancake. which is 31.25 ml. you multiply that number by 4 and then you get 125 ml of milk for 4 pancakes.

you take 5 grams of butter and divide it by 8 pancakes and you get 625 milligrams. 625 milligrams is how much you need for each pancake. so you do 625 milligrams times 12 and you get 7.5 grams of butter. :) your welcome
