Jaylen is making pancakes. He has 1 liter of pancake mixture. If jaylen is using 1/4 liter of mixture for 1 pancake. how many pancakes can he make with the whole mixture? create an equation and also give the solution

Answer 1

To determine how many pancakes Jaylen can make with 1 liter of pancake mixture, we can set up a simple equation.

Let \( x \) be the number of pancakes Jaylen can make. Since each pancake requires \( \frac{1}{4} \) liter of mixture, we can express the total amount of mixture used for \( x \) pancakes as:

\[ \frac{1}{4}x \]

Given that Jaylen has 1 liter of pancake mixture, we can set up the equation:

\[ \frac{1}{4}x = 1 \]

Now, to solve for \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

\[ x = 1 \times 4 \]

\[ x = 4 \]

Thus, Jaylen can make 4 pancakes with the whole mixture.
