Given :

Ellis is making some beef burgers for his friends.

His recipe 500g of beef mince and 120g of cheese to make four burgers.

He buys 1.5 of mince and 400g of cheese, and makes as many burgers as possible.

To Find :

How much cheese will he have left over.

Solution :

500 g and 120 g of beef mince and cheese respectively make 4 burgers.

125 g and 30 g of beef mince and cheese respectively make 1 burgers.

Now, we will keep increasing the ingredients until there is any shortage of any ingredients.

1000 g and 240 g will make 8 burgers.

1500 g and 360 g will make 12 burgers.

1625 g and 390 g will make 13 burgers.

Cheese left is ( 400 - 390 ) g = 10 g.

Therefore, 10 grams of cheese will be left.
