Question

600g of flour to make 24 scones.How much would you need to make 40 scones

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion.

600/24 = x/40

Cross multiply:

600 * 40 = 24 * x

24000 = 24x

Divide 24 to both sides:

x = 1000

So you need 1000 grams of flour to make 40 scones.

Answer 2

$600g=24$
$?g=40$

$\frac{40}{24} = \frac{5}{3}$

$600$×$\frac{5}{3}=1000g$
