Let the one type of the bread be bread A
The second type of the bread be bread B
Let the flour be 'f' and the butter be 'b'
We need 150f + 50b for bread A and 75f + 75b for bread B
We can compare the amount of flour and bread needed for each bread and write them as ratio
FLOUR
Bread A : Bread B
150 : 75
2 : 1
We have a total of 2250gr of flour, and this amount is to be divided into the ratio of 2 parts : 1 part. There is a total of 3 parts.
2250 ÷ 3 = 750 gr for one part then multiply back into the ratio to get
Bread A : Bread B = (2×750) : (1×750) = 1500 : 750
BUTTER
Bread A : Bread B = 50 : 75 = 2 : 3
The amount of butter available, 1250 gr is to be divided into 2 parts : 3 parts.
There are 5 parts in total
1250 ÷ 5 = 250 gr for one part, then multiply this back into the ratio
Bread A: Bread B = (2×250) : (3×250) = 500 : 750
Hence, for bread A we need 1500 gr of flour and 500 gr of butter, and for bread B, we need 750 gr of flour and 750 gr of butter.
M is the centroid and the centroid divide the line in 1:2 ratio . So M divide BQ in 1:2 ratio and the total length of BQ is 18.
Therefore BM is one third of 18 . ANd one third of 18=6
So BM =6 and MQ=12 .
The answer must have to be 40
