QUESTION

There is  $\dfrac{5}{2}kg$ of sugar in the house  $\dfrac{5}{10}kg$ of sugar is needed to make one piece of pastry. If seating uses all the sugar in the house to make pastries how many pieces of pastries can she make?

ANSWER

Total mass of sugar present in house = $\dfrac{5}{2}kg$

Mass of sugar needed to make one piece of pastry =  $\dfrac{5}{10}kg$

Number of pieces of pastries she can make =  $\dfrac{5}{2}kg$ ÷  $\dfrac{5}{10}kg$

= $\dfrac{5}{2}kg$ ×  $\dfrac{10}{5}kg$

= 5.

Therefore, she can make 5 pieces of pastries if she uses all the sugar of house to make pastries.
