Question

An apple crisp recipe calls for 90 grams of white sugar and 55 grams of brown sugar. How many kilograms of sugar, including both white and brown, are needed to make 12 crisps?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Total amount of sugar for one crisp:

90 g + 55 g = 145 grams

Total amount of sugar for 12 crisps:

145 g × 12 = 1,740 grams

Total sugar conversion:

1,740 grams ÷ 1,000 = 1 remainder 740 = 1 kilogram 740 grams

Answer 2

90 grams are equivalent to 0.09 kilograms and 55 grams are equivalent to 0.055.
So 0.09 + 0.055 = 0.145.
0.145 * 12 = 1.74
So 1.74 kilograms of sugar is needed to make 12 crisps.
