Directions: Read the following scenario and solve the problems using any strategies. Be sure to show
your work with words, pictures, or numbers.
Your brother Antonio is an excellent chef! Antonio has invited friends to come over to his place for
breakfast. Antonio plans to make waffles and pancakes. Antonio is getting ready to start cooking the
waffles and pancakes using the instructions in his recipe book.
As he starts to prepare the ingredients, he realises that he forgot to buy extra flour, sugar, and sticks of
butter. Antonio is hoping that he will have enough quantities of flour, sugar, and sticks of butter for his
recipe. Since you are really good at math, Antonio is asking for your help to see if he will be able to
prepare the waffles and pancakes with the amount of ingredients he has in his kitchen.
This is the list of ingredients Antonio has in his kitchen:
▪ 4 cups of flour
▪ 3 cups of sugar
▪ 4 tablespoons of butter
The waffle recipe requires the following quantities for each ingredient:
1
▪ cup of flour
3
3
▪ cups of sugar
4
1
▪ tablespoon of butter
8
The pancake recipe requires the following quantities for each ingredient:
1
▪ cup of flour
3
1
▪ cup of sugar
2
1
▪ tablespoon of butter

Task I
In order to have enough waffles and pancakes for everyone invited to his place, Antonio needs to
double each recipe.
Questions:
1. If Antonio doubles each recipe, will he have enough ingredients? Justify your answer.
Double of Waffle recipe- 1/3 X 2 cup of flour = 2/3 Total flour- 2/3+2/3= 4/3= 1 1/3
3/4 X 2 cup of sugar = 6/4= 1 2/4 Total sugar- 1 2/4 + 1= 2 2/4
1/8 X 2 tablespoon of butter = 2/8 Total butter- 2/8+2/4= 1/4+2/4= 3/4
Double of Pancake recipe- 1/3 x 2 cup of butter = 2/3
1/2 x 2 cup of sugar = 2/2= 1
1/4 x 2 tablespoon of butter= 2/4
F.S- Antonio has enough ingredients to double the recipe of pancakes and waffles as the total flour used is 1 1/3
cups, the total sugar used is 2 2/4 cups and the total butter used is 3/4 tablespoon
2. If he has enough ingredients, how much of each ingredient will Antonio have left after preparing
the waffles and pancakes? Show your work.
Total flour in supply- 4 cups
Total sugar in supply- 3 cups
Total butter in supply- 4 tablespoons
Amount of flour used- 1 1/3
Amount of sugar used- 2 2/4
Amount of butter used- 3/4
Amount of flour left- 4 - 1 1/3= 2 2/3
Amount of sugar left- 3 - 2 2/4= 2/4
Amount of butter left- 4 - 3/4= 3 1/4
F.S- Antonio has 2 2/3 cups of flour left, 2/4 cup of sugar left, 3 1/4 tablespoons of butter left.
Task 2
Antonio’s waffles and pancakes were a big success! Now he has been asked to make more waffles and
pancakes the next day. But he will not need to double the recipe for pancakes or waffles.
Question: Does Antonio have enough ingredients leftover to make a single recipe of waffles, and a
single recipe of pancakes? Explain your answer.
Amount of flour left- 3 2/3 Total flour required- 1/3 + 1/3= 2/3 2 2/3- 2/3= 2
Amount of sugar left- 2/4 Total sugar required- 3/4 + 1/2= 5/4 = 1 1/4 2/4 - 1 1/4= -3/4
Amount of butter left- 3 1/4 Total butter- 1/8+1/4= 3/8
3 1/4 - 3/8= 2 7/8
F.S- Antonio has enough flour and sugar, but he would need to buy 3/4 cups of sugar
Task 3
Question: To triple the recipe, how much more of each ingredient (if necessary) would Antonio need to
buy? Demonstrate how you found your answer.
Total flour in supply- 4 cups
Total sugar in supply- 3 cups
Total butter in supply- 4 tablespoons
