Beef,potatoes and onions are mixed in a recipe in the ratio 5:3:2 by mass. If Mrs. Maree follows the recipe and uses 350g of beef,how many grams pf potatoes and onions does she use?

B : P: O
5: 3: 2

5 is equivalent 350g
3 would be equivalent to
(3)/(5)*350
=210g of potatoes

Like wise for onions;
5 is equivalent to 350g
2 would be equivalent to
(2)/(5)
=140 g of onions
