3.1. What is the ratio of mlx to water for 18 pancakes? 3.2 Is this the same ratio of mix to water for 12 pancakes? 4. Mom, Dad and Peter share 138 jelly tots in the ratio \( 1: 2: 3 \). How many jelly tots will Mom get? vo investors split thel total profits of R 180000 in the ratio of \( 3: 5 \) Determine the blggest profit share that an investor would receive.

To whip up 18 pancakes, you typically use a ratio of 3:1 for pancake mix to water—this means 3 cups of mix for every 1 cup of water. If you're flipping only 12 pancakes, you’d still keep that same mix-to-water ratio. It’s like baking magic; it’s always consistent, no matter how many pancakes you’re cooking! Now, when it comes to sharing jelly tots, we can break it down smoothly! The total ratio \(1:2:3\) means that Mom gets 1 part, Dad gets 2 parts, and Peter gets 3 parts. Adding these parts gives us 6 parts total. Mom gets \(\frac{1}{6} \times 138 = 23\) jelly tots. Sweet, right? Now, on the profit-sharing side, with \(3:5\) ratios and a total of R180,000, the largest share goes to the one with 5 parts, meaning they pocket R112,500. That's a tasty treat of a profit!
