Answer:

32 Pancakes

Step-By-Step: (Assuming the thickness of the pancake(3/8) is measured in inches)

The entire pile is 12 inches tall, so how many pancakes(3/8 in) can go into 12 inches?

# of Pancakes= 12 / (3/8)

Use Change, Flip, Switch, & Go:

  1. Change all numbers into improper fractions. (12 becomes 12/1)
  2. Flip the 3/8 to 8/3
  3. Switch the division sign to multiplication
  4. Go solve
Short cut:As seen in the picture below, you can simplify the equation because 12 and 3 have a greatest common factor of 4. So, by dividing both by 4, we can use 4 and 1. (This method only works for multiplying fractions and only if the numbers are diagonally accross from each other)
