Question

A local restaurant served 124 cups of pancake mix every hour it takes 1 1/4 cups of mix to make one pancake the pancakes are all equal in size about how many pancakes can the restaurant make in two hours

Answer 1

Answer: The restaurant can make 199 pancakes in two hours.

Explanation:

Given: Total number of cups of pancake mix used in 1 hour = 124

Mix required for each pancake =
`1\frac14=(5)/(4)`

Number of cups of pancake mix used in 2 hours = 2 x 124 = 248

Number of pancakes made = (Number of cups of pancake mix used in 2 hours ) ÷ (Mix required for each pancake )

`=248/\frac54\\\\=248*\frac45\\\\= 198.4\approx199`

Hence, the restaurant can make 199 pancakes in two hours.
