Question

Malala is following this recipe for bread rolls.

She uses 200 ml of water.
How much of each of the other ingredients does she use?

Recipe: Makes 15 bread rolls
550 g flour
12 g salt
10 g yeast
30 ml oil
500 ml water

Answer 1

Apart from the 200 grams of water, Malala will use 220 grams of flour, 4.8 grams of salt, 4 grams of yeast and 12 miligrams of oil.

Explanation:

Since Malala uses 200 ml of water for her bread rolls, when the recipe indicates that 500 ml should be used, this implies that she is using 40% of the indicated measures.

Therefore, to know how much use of the remaining products, following with the same proportion, the following calculations must be made:

Flour: 550 x 0.4 = 220 g

Salt: 12 x 0.4 = 4.8 g

Yeast: 10 x 0.4 = 4 g

Oil: 30 x 0.4 = 12 ml
