Answer:

6 teaspoons of baking powder required.

Explanation:

Given that

According to the recipe of pancake,

For every [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of baking baking powder is required.

To find:

How much baking powder will be needed, if 1 teaspoon of salt was used ?

Solution:

This problem can be solved using ratio.

[tex]\frac{1}3[/tex] teaspoon of salt : 2 teaspoons of baking powder

Let us multiply the above ratio with 3.

[tex]\frac{1}{3}\times 3[/tex] teaspoon of salt : 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 teaspoons of baking powder

OR

1 teaspoon of salt : 6 teaspoons of baking powder

So, answer is 6 teaspoons of baking powder required.

Also, we can use the unitary method:

[tex]\frac{1}3[/tex] teaspoon of salt needs = 2 teaspoons of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt needs = [tex]\frac{2}{\frac{1}3}[/tex] teaspoons of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt needs = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 = 6 teaspoons of baking powder needed

So, the answer is:

6 teaspoons of baking powder required.

Answer:

6 teaspoons of baking powder

Explanation:

This is a simple ratio question.

Every 1/3 of a teaspoon of salt requires 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Therefore, 1 teaspoon of salt will require:

= 1 x 2/1/3

= 2 x 3 = 6 teaspoons of baking powder

Hence, 6 teaspoons of baking powder would be needed if they had used 1 teaspoon of salt.
