Answer 1

Answer:

341 grams of flower to make the muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to turn the fractions into percentages.

2 x 100 = 200

200 / 5 = 40%

5 x 100 = 500

500 / 12 = 41.67%

40 = 41.67 = 81.67%

100 - 81.67 = 18.33%

If 18.33% is 150 grams then 100 / 18.33 = 5.456 then 150 x 5.456 = 818.4 grams

41.67 % of 818.4 is 341.02728
