2.75 cups of water mixed with 3.5 cups of pancake mix will make 19 pancakes. How much water is needed if there is only 1.5 cups of pancake mix left?

Answer:

You would need .75 cups of water (or 3/4 cups) if there is only 1.5 cups of pancake mix left

Step-by-step explanation:

So the ratio of water to pancake mix is 2.75 : 3.5 (which makes 19 pancakes)

To get from 3.5 cups of pancake mix to 1.5 cups of pancake mix you would subtract 2 cups. Since this is a ratio, you would not only subtract 2 cups from the pancake mix, but also from the water. 2.75 - 2 = .75 Therefore, you would need .75 cups of water (or 3/4 cups) if there is only 1.5 cups of pancake mix left. Hope this helps!

Answer:

1 5/28 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Water : pancake mix

2.75 : 3.5

X : 1.5

2.75/X = 3.5/1.5

X = 2.75 × 1.5/3.5

X = 33/28 or 1 5/28 cups
