Week 238 (4 March 2022)

David has made pancake batter for Shrove Tuesday.

When David poured the batter into his cuboid container, the container was ⅔ full.

The container has the following dimensions:

Length 15cm
Width 12cm
Height 14cm

If 1 pancake uses 175ml of batter, how many full pancakes can David cook?

Answer:

Total volume of container = 15 x 12 x 14 = 2,520 ml

Volume of batter = 2/3 x 2,520 = 1,680 ml

1,680 / 175 = 9.6

Therefore you can make 9 whole pancakes (and a small one!)
