Question

Anatoly has 1.75kg of butter and plenty of the other ingredients what is the greatest number of batches of 12 flapjacks anatoly can make

Answer 1

Hey there, Anatoly can make a maximum of 12 batches of flapjacks with 1.75kg of butter.

Answer 2

Anatoly cannot make any batches of flapjacks with the given amount of butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest number of batches of 12 flapjacks Anatoly can make, we need to divide the total amount of butter Anatoly has by the amount of butter required for each batch.

The amount of butter required for each batch is 1.75 kg divided by the number of flapjacks in each batch, which is 12.

Dividing 1.75 kg by 12 gives us approximately 0.1458 kg per batch. However, since we cannot have a fraction of a batch, the greatest number of batches Anatoly can make is 0.1458 kg of butter rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 0.

Therefore, Anatoly cannot make any batches of flapjacks with the given amount of butter.
