Question

A cup of cake batter is made using 1/4 cups of sugar, 2/5 cups of flour, and milk. What percentage of the batter is milk ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 35%

Answer 2

Solution -:

= 1/4 + 2/5

= LCM of 4 and 5 = 20

= 5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20

∴ Percent of sugar + flour in the batter = 13/20

= to find milk = 20 - 13 = 7

=7/20 = 100 × 7/20

= 700 ÷ 20 = 35

Answer: = 35%
