Question

If the regular recipe that makes 14 pancakes calls for 1 cup of milk, how many cups should I use to make 21 pancakes? Group of answer choices 1 cup 2 cups 0.5 cups 1.5 cups

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1 1/2 cups

1.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

14 pancakes        21 pancakes

------------------ = ------------

1 cup                  x cups

Using cross products

14x = 21*1

Divide each side by 14

14x/14 = 21/14

x = 3/2

x = 1 1/2 cups
