Question

Milena has 16/6 cups of pancake batter. Her recipe calls for 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. How many pancakes can she make? Draw a model to represent the situation. Show your work.

Answer 1

The number of panckaes that can be made is 32

Using the parameters given for our Calculation;

• Amount of pancake batter = 16/6
• Amount of batter per pancake = 1/3

The number of pancakes that can be made is :

• Amount of pancake batter / Batter per pancake

Now we have ;

• 16/6 ÷ 1/3

Now we have;

• 16/6 × 3/1 = 32

Hence, 32 recipes can be made.
