A recipe calls for 3 cups of milk for 4 pancakes. To use this recipe to make 16 pancakes, how many cups of milk are needed?
10 is all the way correct try it
16 is correct
10 is correct
To find out how many cups of milk are needed to make 16 pancakes using the given recipe, we can set up a proportion.
Let's set up the proportion:
3 cups of milk / 4 pancakes = x cups of milk / 16 pancakes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(3 cups of milk) * (16 pancakes) = (4 pancakes) * x cups of milk
48 cups of milk = 4 * x cups of milk
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:
48 cups of milk / 4 = 4 * x cups of milk / 4
12 cups of milk = x cups of milk
Therefore, to make 16 pancakes using this recipe, you will need 12 cups of milk.
