Question

It takes 2700 seconds to make pancakes. If each pancake takes 3 minutes to make, how many pancakes can be made?

• A. 10 pancakes
• B. 15 pancakes
• C. 20 pancakes
• D. 25 pancakes

Answer 1

The correct option is B 15 pancakes

Total time needed to make all the pancakes = 2700 seconds

Time taken to make 1 pancake = 3 minutes = 180 seconds

Number of pancakes that can be made
= $2700÷180$
= 15 pancakes

15 pancakes can be made in 2700 seconds.
