Question

Peggy needs 3/4 cup of flour to make a batch of Pancakes. She wants to make 5 batches. How many cups of flour does she need

Answer 1

15/4 cups of flour Peggy needs.

According to the question, it is given that Peggy needs 3/4 of a cup of flour to make a single batch of pancake.

So, 1 batch of pancake takes 3/4 cups of flour.

By simple unitary method, 5 batches of pancake would take = (5 * 3/4) cups of flour.

This is equal to = 15/4 cups of flour.

It is a bit more than 3 and half cups of flour.

Answer 2

The number of cups of flour does needed to make 5 Pancakes is 3$\dfrac{3}{4}$  cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of flour to make a batch of pancakes = $\dfrac{3}{4}$

Number of batches of pancakes = 5

Total number of cups of flour does need = n

According to question

Applying unitary method

 ∵  For 1 pancakes, the number of cups of flour = $\dfrac{3}{4}$ cups

∴   For 5 pancakes, the number of cups of flour = $\dfrac{3}{4}$  × 5 cups

Or,                                                                         n = $\dfrac{15}{4}$

Or,                                                                         n = 3$\dfrac{3}{4}$  cups

So, The  number of cups of flour does need = n = 3$\dfrac{3}{4}$  cups

Hence,The  number of cups of flour does needed to make 5 Pancakes is 3$\dfrac{3}{4}$  cups   Answer
