Using weights and measures

In the home of the Measures family, dad is making pancakes by following a recipe for 4 people, making enough for one person each. The doorbell rings and two neighbours arrive. They are offered a pancake and then everyone else wants another one. Dad must work out what quantities he will need to make enough mixture. Three questions follow that ask firstly to double the recipe then to work out quantities for six people, and finally to solve the problem of making 12 pancakes using 20ml of maple syrup and how much will then be left from a 375ml bottle.
