1 cup flower + 2 eggs + 1/2 tsp baking power = 5 pancakes. Using this recipe to determine how many pancakes can be made using 1.5 cups of flower.

To determine how many pancakes can be made with 1.5 cups of flour, we can set up a proportion based on the original recipe. The original recipe (1 cup flour) makes 5 pancakes, so we want to find out how many pancakes 1.5 cups of flour will make.

Let \( x \) represent the number of pancakes that can be made with 1.5 cups of flour.

### Step-by-step solution:

- According to the recipe:
  \[
  \frac{1 \text{ cup flour}}{5 \text{ pancakes}} = \frac{1.5 \text{ cups flour}}{x \text{ pancakes}}
  \]

- Cross-multiply to solve for \( x \):
  \[
  1 \cdot x = 5 \cdot 1.5
  \]
  \[
  x = 7.5
  \]

So, with 1.5 cups of flour, you can make **7.5 pancakes**.
