Pancake Ingredients
1. **State the problem:**
We are given the ingredients to make 8 pancakes:
- 250 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 140 g flour
- 5 g butter
We need to find:
a) How much milk Simon needs to make 4 pancakes.
b) How much butter Craig needs to make 12 pancakes.
2. **Calculate milk for 4 pancakes:**
Since 250 ml milk is for 8 pancakes, the milk per pancake is:
$$\frac{250}{8} = 31.25 \text{ ml per pancake}$$
For 4 pancakes:
$$31.25 \times 4 = 125 \text{ ml}$$
Simon needs 125 ml of milk.
3. **Calculate butter for 12 pancakes:**
Butter per pancake is:
$$\frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \text{ g per pancake}$$
For 12 pancakes:
$$0.625 \times 12 = 7.5 \text{ g}$$
Craig needs 7.5 g of butter.
**Final answers:**
- Milk needed for 4 pancakes: 125 ml
- Butter needed for 12 pancakes: 7.5 g
