1. Darcy wants to make 12 pancakes, but the recipe given is for 8 pancakes. 2. The recipe requires 240 ml of milk for 8 pancakes. 3. To find out how much milk is needed for 12 pancakes, we set up a proportion: $$\frac{240 \text{ ml}}{8 \text{ pancakes}} = \frac{x \text{ ml}}{12 \text{ pancakes}}$$ 4. Cross-multiply to solve for $x$: $$8x = 240 \times 12$$ 5. Calculate the right side: $$8x = 2880$$ 6. Divide both sides by 8: $$x = \frac{2880}{8} = 360$$ 7. Therefore, Darcy needs 360 ml of milk to make 12 pancakes. Final answer: **360 ml** of milk.
