Tomás needs exactly 6 potatoes to make 12 potato pancakes.

Which of the following statements are true?

A. You need 3 potatoes to make 6 potato pancakes.
B. You need 12 potatoes to make 24 potato pancakes.
C. You need 1 potato to make 2 potato pancakes.
D. You need 18 potatoes to make 36 potato pancakes.

Answer :

The answers are A, B, and D.

The given information is that Tomas needs 6 potatoes to make 12 potato pancakes. Thus, we can assume it takes 1 potato to make 2 potato pancakes.

An answer choice must have two times more pancakes than potatoes. Only A, B, and D satisfy this. The others can be confusing if the multiplication is not executed properly.
