3 pancakes mix is needed to make 12 pancakes

using 5 cups of milk; 30 pancakes were made

Step-by-step explanation:

Pancakes mix = 2 cups

Milk = 1 1/3 cups

Pancakes = 8

Pancakes mix : pancakes

2 : 8

Milk : pancakes

1 1/3 : 8

1. How much mix is needed to make 12 pancakes?

Let x = number of pancakes mix

Pancakes mix : pancakes

2 : 8 = x : 12

2/8 = x/12

Cross product

2*12 = 8*x

24 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

x = 24/8

= 3

x = 3

3 pancakes mix is needed to make 12 pancakes

2. using 5 cups of milk; How many pancake were made?

Let x = number of pancakes made

Milk : pancakes

1 1/3 : 8 = 5 : x

Cross product

1 1/3 * x = 8 * 5

4/3x = 40

Divide both sides by 4/3

x = 40 ÷ 4/3

= 40 × 3/4

= 120/4

= 30

x = 30

using 5 cups of milk; 30 pancakes were made
