Read the story

Mom Owl is making pancakes. For 4 people she needs 300 grams of flour.

Today 8 people are coming, twice as many.

So she needs twice as much flour: 300 times 2 is 600 grams.

For 4 people you need 250 g of flour. How much flour do you need for 2 people?

Answer and working

Correct! Half of it: 250 divided by 2 is 125 grams.

250 ÷ 2 = 125
