Question

1/3 of a cup of milk each time she makes a batch of pancakes how many batches can she make if she only has 11/12 of a cup of milk left

Answer 1

Answer:

She can make $\frac{33}{12}$ batches.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

We have that:

For each batch of pancakes, 1/3 cups of milk are needed. Now, she has 11/12 cups of milk, so how many batches can she make?

1 batch - 1/3 cups

x batches - 11/12 cups

Applying cross multiplication:

$\frac{x}{3} = \frac{11}{12}$

$12x = 33$

$x = \frac{33}{12}$

She can make $\frac{33}{12}$ batches.
