. We begin by multiplying the "regular" numbers first. 2.5 × 3.9 = 9.75. That's good; it's already in the proper format for scientific notation. Now we multiply the bases of 10 with their exponents. Since the bases are both 10, they are like. When we multiply like bases, we add their exponents.
. Our answer then is
. There you go!
Quantity of flour needed to make 20 pancakes =
Then , number of pancakes that can be made from 1 cup of floor :-
.
Therefore , 12 pancakes can be made from 1 cup of floor .
<h2>Solution (b) :-</h2>Number of pancakes that can be made with 1 cup of flour = 12 pancakes
Number of pancakes that can be made with 9 cups of flour :-
= 9 × 12
= 108 pancakes
Therefore , I can make 108 pancakes with 9 cups of flour .
<h2>Solution (c) :-</h2>Yes , I have enough flour to make 100 pancakes . I say this because :-
With one cup of flour I can make = 12 pancakes
With 9 cups of flour I can make =
= 9 × 12
= 108 pancakes
As I can make 108 pancakes with 9 cups of flour , I can conclude that I have enough flour to make 100 pancakes .
