biscuits is

Answer 1

Answer:

For making x packets of biscuit , amount of butter required is 0.1 x kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

For making 1 packet of biscuit

Amount of flour required = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Amount of sugar required = 50 g = 0.05 kg

Amount of butter required = 100 g = 0.1 kg

i.e 1 packet biscuit = flour + sugar + butter

Or, 1 packet biscuit = 0.1 kg + 0.05 kg + 0.1 kg

Or, 1 packet biscuit = 0.25 kg material

Again

For making x packets of biscuit

Let The amount of butter required = b kg

According to question

∵ For making 1 packet of biscuit , butter required = 0.1 kg

∴ For making x packets of biscuit , butter required = 0.1 × x kg

Or, b = 0.1 x kg

Hence, For making x packets of biscuit , amount of butter required is 0.1 x kg . Answer
