A recipe for 1 1/5 dozen pancakes calls for 2 1/3 cups of milk. How many cups are needed to make 1 1/10 dozen pancakes? Answer as a mixed number.

wow. I suspect a typo.

(1 1/10)/(1 1/5) = (11/10)/(12/10) = 11/12

So, you need 11/12 of 2 1/3 = 11/12 * 7/3 = 77/36 = 2 5/36 cups of milk.

Mathematically precise, but not easy to measure. Luckily, 1/32 cup is 1/2 tbsp, so it can be done accurately.

1/5 of a dozen = 2 2/5 pancakes. What does 2/5 of a pancake look like?

To find out how many cups are needed to make 1 1/10 dozen pancakes, we can use the concept of ratio and proportions.

First, let's calculate the ratio of cups of milk to the number of dozens of pancakes in the given recipe.

The recipe states that 1 1/5 dozen pancakes require 2 1/3 cups of milk.

To convert 1 1/5 dozen to a fraction, we need to multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (5) and add the numerator (1). This gives us (1*5 + 1) = 6/5 dozen.

So, for 6/5 dozen pancakes, we need 2 1/3 cups of milk.

Now, let's set up the proportion using the ratio:

(6/5 dozen pancakes) / (2 1/3 cups of milk) = (1 1/10 dozen pancakes) / (x cups of milk)

Cross-multiplying, we have:

(6/5) * x = (1 1/10)

To solve for x, first convert 1 1/10 to a mixed number:

1 1/10 = (1 * 10 + 1) / 10 = 11/10

Now, we can solve the equation:

(6/5) * x = 11/10

To isolate x, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (6/5), which is (5/6):

[(6/5) * x] * (5/6) = (11/10) * (5/6)

Simplifying, we get:

x = (11/10) * (5/6) * (6/5)

Canceling out common factors, we have:

x = 11/2

Thus, 11/2 is the number of cups required to make 1 1/10 dozen pancakes.
