To see if you have enough milk, first convert \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \) cups of milk into an improper fraction. This equals \( \frac{5}{4} \) cups. Now, convert \( \frac{3}{2} \) cups into fourths, which gives you \( \frac{6}{4} \) cups. Since \( \frac{6}{4} \) is greater than \( \frac{5}{4} \), you have enough milk for your pancake recipe! Next time you're whipping up some pancakes, remember: measuring ingredients doesn't have to be boring! You can get creative by adding extras like blueberries or chocolate chips to shake things up. It's all about turning that pancake batter into a delicious fun breakfast for you and your family!
