Answer:
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
