Question

His recipe makes 5 pancakes.

Sanjay follows the recipe but wants to make 20 pancakes.
How much of each ingredient does he need?

Recipe: Makes 5
135 g flour
1 teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
2 tablespoons (tbsps) sugar
130 ml milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons (tbsps) oil

Answer 1

540g flour

4tsp baking powder

8tbsps sugar

520mL milk

4 eggs

8tbsps oil

Explanation:

To find out how many times he would need to make the recipe, we can divide 20 by 5:

`(20)/(5) =4`

Now we know that Sanjay must make the recipe four times to make 20 pancakes. We need to multiply each value by 4 to get how much he needs to make 20.

`(4)(135)=540\\(4)(1)=4\\(4)(2)=8\\(4)(130)=520\\(4)(1)=4\\(4)(2)=8`
