Answer: Hello mate! 
Here we want to craft a problem in which there are 3 pancakes for every person, where this is the solution. 
Then we need to find a problem where we can divide an X number of pancakes into Y persons, where the end result is that each of the Y persons gets 3 pancakes. 
This is X/Y = 3. 
X = Y*3 
Now suppose we have Y = 10, so we have 10 persons in the group 
How many pancakes do we need? 
this is X = 10*3 = 30 
so we can write a problem as: 
We can write a real-world word problem as: 
"suppose you have 30 pancakes, and you have 9 friends ( with yourself makes a total of 10 persons). Now you want to divide the total amount of pancakes in the total amount of persons, How many pancakes receive each one?"
