Question

Here are the ingredients to make 12 shortcakes:

Answer 1

25/10=2.5 lots
2.5x12=30 shortcakes

500/50=10 lots
1000/200=5 lots
1000/200=5 lots
500/10=50 lots
so the maximum number of lots is 5
5x12=60 shortcakes

hope this helps

Answer 2

So,

For a dozen shortcakes:
50g sugar
200g butter
200g flour
10 ml milk

Question #1:
If Liz used 25 ml milk, then she probably made 2.5 dozen shortcakes.

2.5(12) = 30

Liz made 30 shortcakes.


Question #2:
Robert's supplies:
500g sugar
1000g butter
1000g flour
500 ml milk

A dozen shortcakes takes
50g sugar
200g butter
200g flour
10ml milk

If he makes 5 dozen shortcakes, he will use

250g sugar
1000g butter (all of it)
1000g flour (all of it)
50ml milk

Robert cannot make more than 5 dozen shortcakes (60).
