Answer 1

To make 12 portions of apple amber, Stephanie needs 15 ounces of sugar and she has enough apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of sugar Stephanie needs for 12 portions of apple amber, we can set up a proportion using the amount of sugar needed for 8 portions:

8 portions = 10 ounces of sugar

Then, we can solve for the amount of sugar needed for 12 portions:

12 portions = x ounces of sugar

Using cross multiplication, we can find that Stephanie needs 15 ounces of sugar for 12 portions of apple amber.

To show that Stephanie has enough apples to make 12 portions of apple amber, we can set up a proportion:

2 kg of apples = 2.2 pounds of apples

Then, we can solve for the amount of apples needed for 12 portions:

x pounds of apples = 12 portions

Using cross multiplication, we can find that Stephanie needs 11 pounds of apples, which is less than the 2.2 pounds she already has, so she has enough apples.
