B)  80 multiplied by 3 as 9-6 is 3 = 240.  Lan needs 240g butter

Answer 2

Answer:

80g of fish and 200g of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

The ingredients of making fish pie for 6 people consists of:

180g of flour

240g of fish

80g of butter

4 eggs

180ml of milk

Clare makes a fish pie for 2 people, work out how much fish she needs

To make a fish pie for 2 people we have to divide the 6 ingredients by 3 to make the ingredients for 2 people. The ingredients list for two people will be:

60g of flour

80g of fish

26.7g of butter to the nearest 1 dp

1 and 1/3 of an egg

60ml of milk

But, we are looking for the amount of fish which will be 80g

=80g of fish for 2 people

Ian wants to make fish pie for 15 people, work out how much butter he needs

Now it asks how much butter, so we don't need to add the rest of the ingredients in the answer. To make fish pie for 15 people we need to divide the amount of butter by 6 and times by 9

80/6g

80/6g x 9

= 200g
