Question

Helena sees this recipe for pastry. she says that the ratio of margarine to flour is 4:1 is Helena correct? explain your answer

pastry:200g flour pinch salt
50g margarine water to mix
50g lard​

Answer 1

NO

since it talks about a ratio of margarine to flour, we should write it in this form:

• MARGARINE : FLOUR

Since we have a 50g margarine and a 200g flour, therefore, we write it as

➡️ 50 : 200 ➡️ 1 : 4

FINAL ANSWER SHOULD BE:

1 : 4

Explanation:

Ratio of MARGARINE TO FLOUR

Given that margarine is 50g and flour is 200g. Therefore,

Margarine:Flour ➡️ 50:200 = 1:4

To check:

A:B= C:D ➡️ 50:200= 1:4

▶️AD= BC ➡️ (50) (4) = (200) (1)

➡️ 200 = 200

☑️

Hope it helps
