Answer 1

Answer:

216g of margarine

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

12 small cakes required 108g of margarine

If he would be making 24 of the small cakes, hence, that would be calculated as:

12 small cakes = 108g of margarine

24 small cakes = x

Cross Multiply

12 × x = 24 × 108g

x = 24 × 108g/12

x = 216g of margarine

Therefore, he would need 216g of margarine to make 24 of small cakes
