Math Problem Statement
if 120g of flour makes 36 biscuits. How many biscuits could be made with 80g of flour
Solution
We can solve this problem using a proportion, as the number of biscuits is directly proportional to the amount of flour used.
Given:
- 120g of flour makes 36 biscuits.
- We need to find how many biscuits can be made with 80g of flour.
Let be the number of biscuits made with 80g of flour. The proportion is:
Now, cross-multiply and solve for :
Thus, 80g of flour can make 24 biscuits.
