Answer 1

Answer: Amount of sugar left over after its use in recipe is 16385.12 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of sugar the bakery has is 30900 grams and it uses only 32 pounds of it for a recipe.

We know:

1 pound of sugar is equal to 453.59 grams.

So, 32 pounds of sugar will be equal to (32 × 453.59) = 14514.88 grams.

Amount of sugar used in a recipe = 14514.88 grams.

Amount of sugar left = Total sugar - Sugar used = (30900 - 14514.88) = 16385.12 grams.

Hence, amount of sugar left over after its use in recipe is 16385.12 grams.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: Total amount of sugar available in Johnny's bakery= 30,900 g

Sugar to be used in recipe= 32 pounds

Given : 1 pound (lb) = 453.59 g

`32 pounds= 32* 453.59=14,514.88g`

Thus Sugar to be used in recipe= 14514.88 g

Sugar left over= (30,900 -14514.88)= 16385.12g
