Given

Total no. of waffles required = 12

No. of  cups of milk =

No. of cups of flour  =

No. of cups of other ingredients =

The total number of cups of ingredients needed for 12 waffles =

No. of cups of milk + no. of cups of flour + no. of cup of other ingredients

=

=

The total number of cups of ingredients needed for 12 waffles is .

=

= The total number of cups of ingredients needed for 36 waffles  cups of ingredients.

A recipe for 12 waffles calls for cups of milk, cups of flour, and  cups of other ingredients = total of cups of ingredients  

Current recipe

= 1 cup of 2 milk + cups of flour + 2 cups of other ingredients

= 1 + 2 + 2 + ()

= cups of ingredients

Therefore, total amount of ingredients for 12 waffles would increase from the original recipe. This is because when you subtract from you get a difference of  cups.

- =

The original recipe has cups of flour as its quantity for 12 waffles

Hence:

 cups of flour = 12 waffles

17 cups =

17 ×

= 204÷

= 204 ÷

= 204 ×

= 90.666666667 or 90  Waffles

If = 12 waffles = 1 recipe

90 waffles =

7.56 or recipes.

Complete Question

A recipe for 12 waffles calls for 1 1/2 cups of milk, 2 1/4 cups of flour, and 1 1/3 cups of other ingredients.

A 5 1/12 cups of ingredients

B 10 1/6 cups of ingredients

C The total amount of ingredients for 12 waffles would increase from the original recipe.

D 7.56 or 7 5/9 recipes

Step-by-step explanation:

A... What is the total number of cups of ingredients needed for 12 waffles?...

The total number of cups of ingredients needed =

1 1/2 cups of milk + 2 1/4 cups of flour + 1 1/3 cups of other ingredients

(1 + 2 + 1) + (1/2 + 1/4 +1/3)

4 + ( 6 + 3 + 4/12)

4 + (13/12)

4 + (1 1/12)

= 5 1/12 cups of ingredients

B... What is the total number of cups of ingredients needed for 36 waffles?

If 12 waffles requires = 5 1/12 cups of ingredients

36 waffles =

Cross Multiply

= (36 waffles × 5 1 /12)/12 waffles

= 10 1/6 cups of ingredients

C... If the milk is reduced to 1 cup and the amount of 'other ingredients' (not including the flour) is increased to 2 cups, would the total amount of ingredients for 12 waffles increase or decrease from the original recipe?

Justify your thinking...

Original recipe.

A recipe for 12 waffles calls for 1 1/2 cups of milk, 2 1/4 cups of flour, and 1 1/3 cups of other ingredients = total of 5 1/12 cups of ingredients

Current recipe

1 cup of milk + 2 1/4 cups of flour + 2 cups of other ingredients

1 + 2 + 2 + (1/4)

5 1/4 cups of ingredients

Therefore, total amount of ingredients for 12 waffles would increase from the original recipe. This is because when you subtract 5 1/12 from 5 1/4 you get a difference of 1/6 cups

5 1/4 - 5 1/12 = 1/6

D... If a baker has a 5 pound bag of flour, which is approximately 17 cups of flour, how many complete recipes for 12 waffles can the baker make?... Justify your thinking...

The original recipe has 2 1/4 cups of flour as its quantity for 12 waffles

Hence:

2 1/4 cups of flour = 12 waffles

17 cups =

17 × 12/2 1/4

= 204÷ 2 1/4

= 204 ÷ 9/4

= 204 × 4/9

= 90.666666667 or 90 2/3 Waffles

If = 12 waffles = 1 recipe

90 2/3 waffles =

7.56 or 7 5/9 recipes
