Question

1.

Answer 1

Answer:

$320\ g$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by setting up a ratio:

$\frac{\text{amount of oats}}{\text{number of pancakes}}=\frac{\text{amount of oats}}{\text{number of pancakes}}$

$\frac{240g}{18\text{ pancakes}}=\frac{xg}{24\text{ pancakes}}$

Cross multiply (Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second and vice versa):

$240*24=18*x\\5760=18x\\\text{Divide both sides by 18}\\x=320\ g$

Answer 2

Answer: 320 g

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio.

Let the amount of oats equal to x.

18/240 = 24/x

We can now cross multiply.

18x = 5760.

x = 320 g
