1. a box of pancake mix requires 1 cup of mix and
2/3 cups of water to make 6 to 7 pancakes. arjun is

making pancakes for his family of 6, and he wants every-
one to have at least 3 pancakes. how much pancake mix

will arjun need? how much water will he need?

2 Cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of water that Arjun will need to make 3 pancakes for each family member in a family of 6, we first need to know what our current ratio of pancake mix to water is.

2/3 water : 1 pancake mix = 6 to 7 pancakes

Now we need to know how much pancakes Arjun needs to make.

6 family members

3 pancakes each

So we multiply the number of family members to the number of pancakes each

Total number of pancakes = 6 x 3

Total number of pancakes = 18

So we need at least 18 pancakes for the family to have 3 pancakes each.

Since we know that the combination of water and pancake mix will make around 6 to 7 pancakes, we simply multiply the entire amount by 3.

2/3 (3) : 1 (3) = 6 (3) to 7 (3)

2 Cups of water : 3 pancake mix = 18 to 21 Pancakes

With a combination of 2 cups of water and 3 pancake mix. We will get 18 to 21 pancakes.

So Arjun will need 2 cups of water to get 18 to 21 pancakes for the family of 6.
