Question

Victoria's favorite cookie recipe uses 170 grams of butter for every 250 grams of flour. Victoria's daughter made cookies using 340 grams of butter for every 400 grams of flour. What will Victoria think of her daughter's cookies?

Answer 1

Victoria's daughter's cookies will have more butter. Victoria uses 0.68g of butter per gram of flour, whereas her daughter uses 0.85g of butter per gram of flour.

Answer 2

Daughter is using 0.17 gram more butter for each gram flour.

Explanation:

Victoria's favorite cookie recipe uses 170 grams of butter for every 250 grams of flour =
`(170)/(250)` = 0.68

Therefore, this recipe needs 0.68 grams of butter for every gram flour.

Her daughter made cookies using 340 grams of butter for every 400 grams of flour =
`(340)/(400)` = 0.85

She is using 0.85 grams of butter for every gram flour.

Victoria's daughter is using 0.17 gram of butter more on every gram flour.
