Question

If 3/4 tsp of salt make 8 pancakes. How many teaspoons of salt are needed to make 64 pancakes?

Answer 1

Since the number of pancakes and the amount of salt used have a direct proportion, we can use the following proportion:

3/4 tsp salt = 8 pancakes

x tsp salt = 64 pancakes

Cross-multiplying, we get:

3/4 x 64 = 8x

48 = 8x

x = 6

Therefore, 6 teaspoons of salt are needed to make 64 pancakes.

Answer 2

6 teaspoons of salt are needed to make 64 pancakes.

Explanation:

We know

3/4 tsp of salt make 8 pancakes.

How many teaspoons of salt are needed to make 64 pancakes?

8 pancakes = 0.75 tsp of salt

64 pancakes = ? tsp of salt

We cross multiply by 64 and divide by 8.

(0.75 x 64) ÷ 8 = 6 tsp of salt

So, 6 teaspoons of salt are needed to make 64 pancakes.
