Question

When Alicia makes oat biscuits she uses syrup, butter and oats in the ratio 1:2:4. She says I have plenty of syrup, but only 250g of butter and 440g of oats in my kitchen cupboard. Alicia makes as many oat biscuits as she can with these ingredients How much of each ingredient does she use.
And how much syrup does she use?

Answer 1

Answer:110 g of syrup, 220 g of butter and complete 440 g of oats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alicia has 250g of butter, but only 440g of oats.

And the ratio 1:2:4, suggests that oats are required in max quantity, whereas syrup in least quantity.

She makes as many oat biscuits as she can with these ingredient.

So the oats quantity should be used to full, i. e., 440 g

Now ratio for butter and oats is 2:4

Let's consider amt of butter required as x

x/440=2/4

x=2/4×440

x=880/4

x=220

Butter required is hence 220 g.

Similarly, syrup required is 110 g
