Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Recipe states that 12 ounces of flour is needed.

We have 500 grams of flour.


25 gram = 1 ounce


1 gram = (1)/(25) ounce


500 gram= (1)/(25)*500 = 20 ounce

Means we have 20 ounces of flour. which is greater than 12 ounces.

Hence we could eaisily bake the cake. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
