Pls help me

Leon is making a cake for the first time. His recipe calls for 280 grams of sugar, but he accidentally pours 295 grams on his first try. He uses a small spoon to remove the extra sugar. If he needs to remove 12 spoonfuls, how many milligrams of sugar does his spoon hold?

Answer:

1250 milligrams

Explanation:

He adds an extra 15 grams, or 15000 milligrams, of sugar. The small spoon can scoop up 15000 milligrams in 12 spoonfuls. So it scoops up (15000/12) or 1250 milligrams per scoop.
