Pancake mix

According to a recipe, each batch of pancake mix can make 12 pancakes. Lilly is making three batches for a brunch party. If each batch needs 7/12 cups of milk, how much milk does she need in total?

Correct answer:

m =  7/4 = 1 ³⁄₄ c

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} n=3 \\ {m}_1=7/12=\frac{7}{12}\doteq 0.5833\text{c} \\ m=n\cdot m_1=3\cdot 0.5833=\frac{7}{4}\text{c}=1.75\text{c} \end{gathered}$$
