Answer 1

16.45 - 6.4 = 10.05

10.05 / 15 = 0.67 kg in each batch

Answer 2

If Adam has 16.45 kg of flour and he uses 6.4 kg to make hot cross buns, then he has left

16.45 - 6.4 = 10.05 kg of flour.

If Adam wants to use the remaining flour to make 15 batches of scones, then each batch of scones requires

10.05 : 15 = 0.67 kg of flour.

Answer: each batch of scones requires 0.67 kg of flour.
