Question

83.7g of sugar is needed to make 9 cakes. How much sugar is needed for 10 cakes?

Answer 1

Answer: The amount of sugar needed to make 10 cakes = 93 g

Explanation:

Given : 83.7g of sugar is needed to make 9 cakes.

The amount of sugar needed to make one cake =
`(83.7)/(9)=9.3`

The amount of sugar needed to make one cake = 9.3 g

Then , the amount of sugar needed to make 10 cakes =
`9.3*10=93\text{ g}`

Hence, the amount of sugar needed to make 10 cakes = 93 g

Answer 2

83.7 g ............. 9 cakes
x g .............10 cakes

x = 10·83.7/9 = 837/9 = 93 g
