Answer:
600 butter : 2000 flour : 200 sugar : 400 currants = 72 cakes
120 cakes could be made with 1 kg of butter
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, 72 cakes = 6 dozen cakes
( since 12 cake = 1 dozen cake ).
a. First calculate quantity of each ingredient per dozen by dividing each by 1.5 (18/12).
• Butter - 150/1.5 = 100 g per dozen
For 6 dozen :
100g x 6 = 600 g
• Flour - 500/1.5 = 333.33 g per dozen
For 6 dozen :
333.33 g x 6 = 2000 g
• Sugar - 50/1.5 = 33.33 g per dozen
For 6 dozen :
33.33 x 6 = 200 g
• Currants - 100/1.5 = 66.67 g per dozen
For 6 dozen :
66.67 x 6 = 400 g
b. It is given that,
150g butter is required to make = 18 cakes
Then by using unitary method, we get,
1 g of butter is required to make = 18/150 cakes
Since, 1 Kg = 1000 g
Then,
1000 g of butter is required to make = (18/150) × 1000
= 120 cakes
Hence, with 1 kg of butter 120 whole cakes can be made.
Hope this answer helps you :)
Have a great day :)
