Question

Here are the ingredients to make 12 cupcakes.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mark needs 2 kg butter, 2 kg caster sugar, 14 eggs, and 1.5 kg flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, first you double the number of kids, as Mark wants each kid to have two cupcakes, not one. (Then add 80+80 to get 160)

Now add the adults to children: 160+152=312

now divide by 12 to see how many batches of cupcakes he needs to make.

312÷12=26 So he needs to make 26 batches

Now here are the ingredients needed to make 12 batches of cupcakes (I multiplied the amount of each ingredient by 26)

5200 g (5.2 kg) butter, 5200 g (5.2 kg) caster sugar, 104 eggs, and 6500 g (6.5 kg) flour.

now make the measurements the same as Mark's ingredients (or the other way around)

(to save time I am not showing each one, just the normal ingredients turned into kg and compared)

5 kg butter < 5.2 kg butter

5 kg caster sugar < 5.2 kg butter

90 eggs < 104 eggs

5 kg flour < 6.5 kg flour

Now do a little subtraction.....

5.2 kg-5 kg = 2 kg butter is needed....

5.2 kg - 5 kg = 2 kg caster sugar is needed....

104 - 90 = 14 eggs needed....

6.5 kg - 5 kg = 1.5 kg flour needed....

And there you go!!! Hope this helped!!! :D
