Triangles Maths Group.
Piri, Maia and Ollie are planning to make pikelets for afternoon tea. The recipe need 3/4 cups of milk to make a batch of 25 pikelets. How many cups will they need to make 100 pikelets?
They discover that they have 5 1/2 cups of milk. How many batches of pikelets will they be able to make?
3 whole cups of milk can make 100 pikelets. There are 2 1/2 more cups of milk left. I added another half to the 2 1/2 cups so that it can equal 3 whole cups and that makes another 100 pikelets. I took away half of 100 which is 50. (100 - 50 = 50), and then I added 100 and 50 together
( 100 + 50 = 150). So Piri, Maia and Ollie makes 150 batches of pikelets.
