12/4 = 3 pancakes per minute
54/3 = _______ minutes
54/3 = _______ minutes
Let "x" be the time it takes for Lou to make 54 pancakes. We know that he makes 12 pancakes in 4 minutes, so we can set up the following proportion:
12 pancakes / 4 minutes = 54 pancakes / x minutes
To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply:
12x = 4 * 54
12x = 216
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for "x":
x = 216 / 12
x = 18
Therefore, it would take Lou 18 minutes to make 54 pancakes at the same rate.
