Question

Ingredients

Answer 1

Answer:

To make 16 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 16.

To make 4 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 4.

To make 12 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 12.

see explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ingredients to make 1 pancake is as follows:

1 1/2  cups all-purpose flour; 31/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt.

1 tablespoon white sugar.; 1 1/4 cups milk; 1 egg; and 3 tablespoons butter.

Then to make 16 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 16.

cups all-purpose flour =16× 1 1/2

=  16×3/2 = 24

teaspoons baking powder = 16 ×7/2 = 56

teaspoon salt = 1×16 = 16

tablespoon white sugar= 1×16 = 16

cups milk= 16×5/4 = 20

egg= 1×16 = 16

tablespoons butter= 3×16 = 48

Then to make 4 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 4.

cups all-purpose flour =4× 1 1/2

=  4×3/2 = 6

teaspoons baking powder = 4 ×7/2 =14

teaspoon salt = 1×4 = 4

tablespoon white sugar= 1×4 = 4

cups milk= 4×5/4 = 5

egg= 1×4 = 4

tablespoons butter= 3×4 = 12

Then to make 12 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 12.

cups all-purpose flour =12× 1 1/2

=  12×3/2 = 18

teaspoons baking powder = 12 ×7/2 =42

teaspoon salt = 1×12 = 12

tablespoon white sugar= 1×12 = 12

cups milk= 12×5/4 = 15

egg= 1×12 = 12

tablespoons butter= 3×12 = 36

The operation applied is multiplication with each fraction.
