here are the ingredients for making a trifle for four people. 120g strawberry jelly,8 sponge fingers, 420ml custard and 180g tinned fruit. Kevin is going to make a trifle for 3 people. work how much of each ingredients he needs

Answer 1

For 3 people Kevin would need 90g of strawberry jelly, 6 sponge fingers, 315ml of custard and 135g of tinned fruit.

Explanation:

To work this out you would need to work out how many ingredients would be needed for 1 person, so you would need to divide each ingredient amounts by 4. (For example for the strawberry jelly you would do 120÷4 which is 30).

Then, to work out how many ingredients would be needed for 3 people you would need to multiply the ingredient amounts by 3. (Like 30×3 is 90).
