Question

A recipe needs a combined weight of 720 g of flour and sugar. If the recipe needs
5 times flour than sugar, how much of each is needed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the quantity of suger be x

Let the quantity of flour be 5x

According to the Question:

5x + x = 720

6x = 720

x = 720/6

x = 120

Quantity of suger = x = 120g

Quantity of flour = 5x = (5 x 120)g = 600g

Ans: To prepare the recipe 120g of Suger and 600g of Flour is needed.
