Video Summary

Maurice wants to make pancakes but has limited ingredients: 6 eggs, 400g flour, 0.5L milk, and 200g butter. The recipe for 100 pancakes requires 25 eggs, 5kg flour, 4L milk, and 1kg butter. To find the limiting ingredient, the ratios of available to needed ingredients are calculated. Flour, with a requirement of 5kg, limits Maurice as he only has enough to make 0.08 of the recipe, equating to 8 pancakes. Thus, flour is the limiting factor, and Maurice can only make 8 pancakes. The solution confirms that the answer is 8 pancakes.
