There are 4 gallons of milk in the refrigerator, Mrs. White uses 1/5 gallon of milk to make a batch of pancakes. How many batches of pancakes can she make with 4 gallons of milk?

Respuesta :

the answer is twenty

She can make 20 batches of pancakes with 4 gallons of milk.

Solution:

Given that,

Quantity of milk in refrigerator = 4 gallons

Quantity of milk required to make a batch of pan cake = [tex]\frac{1}{5} \ gallon[/tex]

Need to determine how many batches of pan cake Mrs.White can make using 4 gallons of milk.

Number of batches which can be made by [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] gallons of Milk = 1

So number of batches which can be made by [tex]\frac{1}{5} \times 5=1 \ gallons \ of \ milk = 1 \times 5=5[/tex]

So, number of batches which can be made by 4 gallons of milk = 4 multiplied by the number of batches which can be made by 1 gallons of milk = [tex]4 \times 5=20[/tex]

Hence, she can make 20 batches of pancakes.
