Maths

Yesterday triangles had maths with Mrs Tofa so we did this question. Piri, Maia  and Ollie are planning to make pikelets for afternoon tea.The recipe need 3/4 cup of milk to make batch of 25 pikelets. How many cups of milk will they need to make 100 pikelets?

My answer is 3/4 of milk is already been used to make 25 pikelets so then you need to make 75 more.To make 75 pikelets you need 3 cups of milk so the answer to the question is 3 wholes.

They discover that they have 5 1/2 cups of milk.How many batches of pikelets will they be able to make?

Strategy 1-I know that 3 cups of milk can make 100 pikelets and if you add 2 cups of milk then that will make 150 pikelets (I think).

Strategy 2-I got 150 pikelets because 3 cups of milk only make 100 pikelets and to make 25 you need 3/4 of a cup of milk and so if you add another 3/4 of milk you will get another 25 so id you add it all together then you will have 150 pikelets.
