Question

jordan and taylor each make pancake batter. jordan uses 4 cups of flour for every 5 cups of milk. taylor uses 6 cups of flour for every 7 cups of milk. whose pancake batter will be thicker (having more cups of flour per cups of milk)?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Jordan's flour per milk

Jordan uses 4 cups flour for 5 cups milk. So flour per milk is $\frac{4}{5} = 0.8$ cups flour per cup milk.

Step2: Calculate Taylor's flour per milk

Taylor uses 6 cups flour for 7 cups milk. So flour per milk is $\frac{6}{7} \approx 0.857$ cups flour per cup milk.

Step3: Compare the two ratios

Since $0.857 > 0.8$, Taylor has more flour per cup of milk, so Taylor's batter is thicker.

Answer:

Taylor's pancake batter will be thicker.
