Pierre can make 3 liters of chocolate sauce from 450 grams of chocolate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Chocolate used to make 200 ml of chocolate sauce = 30 grams
Ratio of chocolate to milliliters of chocolate sauce = 30:200
Let,
x be the milliliters of sauce made from 450 grams of chocolate
Ratio of chocolate to ml of sauce = x:450
Using proportion;
Ratio of chocolate to ml of sauce:: ratio of chocolate to ml of sauce
Product of extreme = Product of mean
Dividing both sides by 30
450 grams of chocolate will make 3000 milliliters of chocolate sauce.
We will convert this in liters.
1 liter = 1000 ml
3000 ml = = 3 liters
