Question

Abigail wants to make 60% more pancakes than the recipe usually prepares. If the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flour, how much will she need to use?

Answer 1

She will need to use 4/5 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to calculate the 60% of the flour used in actual recipe then it will be added to the original amount,

So,

Given

Cups of flour used in actual recipe = 1/2

60% of 1/2:

$= \frac{1}{2} * \frac{60}{100}\\= \fra{60}{200}\\=\frac{3}{10}$

So the total cups of flour for 60% more pancakes will be:

$= \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{10}\\\\= \frac{5+3}{10}\\\\=\frac{8}{10}\\\\=\frac{4}{5}$

Hence,

She will need to use 4/5 cups of flour
