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:

5x

Explanation:

lets assume x to be weight of flour and y to be sugar

Since it is mentioned 720g is the combined weight of the recipe

therefore we can write x + y = 720

Since we need flour 5 times more

therefore Equation = 5x + y = 720
