For $100$ pancakes we need -
$25$ eggs
$4$ Litres milk
$5 kg$ flour
$1 kg$ butter.
Now calculate for one pancake how much ingredient is needed?
For one pancake we need,

$0.05 kg$ flour
$0.01 kg$ butter.
Calculate how many pancakes can be made with each ingredients available.
With $6$ eggs we can have $24$ pancakes.
With $400 g$ flour we can have $8$ pancakes.
With $0.5 $ Litres milk we can have $12.5$ pancakes.
With $200 g$ butter we can have $20$ pancakes.
Compare the number of pancakes for each ingredient to make the pancake complete.
So, we can have $8$ pancakes complete.
