Question

A recipe for 8 pancakes needs the following:

1 1/4 cups of milk
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 egg

Maria has these ingredients.

1 quart of milk
8 cups of flour
12 eggs

How many more cups of milk does Maria need to make 40 pancakes in total?

Answer 1

2.25 cups

Explanation:

There are 5 eights in 40.

1.25 × 5 = 6.25

1.5 × 5 = 7.5

1 × 5 = 5

1 quart = 4 cups

6.25 cups - 4 cups = 2.25 cups
