Answer 1

1500 g

Explanation:

part a) is correct

part b)
The ratio of syrup to oats for one flapjack is 1:4

That means for each g of syrup you will require 4 g of oats

For 12 flapjacks you require 250 g

Therefore quantity of oats needed for 12 flapjacks = 250 x 4 = 1000 g

If you were to make 18 flapjacks then you would need 18/12 x quantity needed for 12 flapjacks

18/12 = 3/2 (dividing numerator and denominator by 6)

Quantity of oats needed for 18 flapjacks
= 18/12 x 1000

= 3/ 2 x 1000
= 3 x 500
= 1500 g
