Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of margarine needed is 1 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to convert volume of syrup from mL to L.

Conversion used:

1 L = 1000 mL

or, 1 mL = 0.001 L

So, 225 mL = 0.225 L

Now we have to calculate the amount of margarine needed.

As, 0.225 L of syrup needed 150 g of margarine

So, 1.8 L of syrup needed \frac{1.5L}{0.225L}\times 150 g=1000g0.225L1.5L×150g=1000g of margarine

Amount of margarine needed = 1000 g = 1 kg     (1 kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, the amount of margarine needed is 1 kg.
