She buys the butter in 250 g packs.
b) (i) What is the exact amount of butter she needs?
g
(ii) How many packs of butter will she have to buy?

Answer 1

I'll give you the correct answer:

a) You need to times 60 by 3: 60*3. This will get you 180g, which gets your first mark.
Next, you must times 180 by 4: 180*4. This gets you 720g, and there's your final answer + the last marks.

b) (i) 420g

(ii) 2 packs, because there is 240 g in one pack so you times it by two.

Hope this helps!
