Answer:
Yes, she will have enough eggs.
Step-by-step explanation:
It's an easy question if we carefully think about it.
Firstly we find the total number of eggs:
- 9 boxes x 15 eggs = 135 eggs
Secondly, the weight of the useful egg whites:
- 135 eggs x 40 grams = 5400 grams of egg whites
Thirdly we divide the egg whites weight by the sugar weight
- 5400/8000 = 0.675 which is larger than the minimum ratio, 3/5 = 0.6.
This means that Keely will have enough eggs to use the whole of the sugar for meringues.
