140 g flour
5g butter


Craig makes 12 pancakes.
Work out how much butter he needs.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5g of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5g of butter is needed to make 8 pan cakes,

Then, [(12 X 5)/8]g of butter is needed to make 12 pancakes

(12 X 5)/8 = 60/8 = 7.5

Therefore, 7.5g of butter is needed to make 12 pancakes

Answer 2

Answer:

7.5 g

Step-by-step explanation:

$8 \: pancakes \: requires \: 5 \: g \: butter \\ \therefore \: 1 \: pancake \: requires = \frac{5}{8} g \\ \therefore \: 12 \: pancake \: requires = \frac{5}{8} g \times 12\\ = \frac{60}{8} = 7.5 \: gm \:$

Hence, 12 pancakes require 7.5g butter.
