84.7g of sugar is needed to make 11 cakes. How much sugar is needed for 5 cakes

Answer 1

Answer:

38.5 grams of sugar for 5 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a ratio of grams to cakes

84.7g:11

How much for 1 cake(unit rate because you want sugar over cakes)?

Just divide by 11.

7.7g:1

But you need 5 cakes so multiply by 5

38.5g:5

Answer 2
