Question

Jack finds this list of ingridents needed to make 20 muffins. To make 20 muffins you need 220ml milk, 250g castel sugar, 400g flour.

Jack has these ingridents : 1 litre of milk, 750g caster sugar and 1.5kg flour. Work out the greatest number of muffins Jack can make with his ingridents!

Answer 1

60 muffins

Explanation:

Find out how much ml you need for each ingredient.

20 muffins =

220 ÷ 20 = 11 (milk)

250 ÷ 20 = 12.5 (castel sugar)

400 ÷ 20 = 20 (flour)

Find out the greatest number of muffins Jack can make.

1 litre = 1000 ml

1000 ÷ 11 = 90.90 (recurring decimal) (milk)

750 ÷ 12.5 = 60 (castel sugar)

1500 ÷ 20 = 75 (flour)

Find the smallest answer out of the 3 questions.
