Question

Eli is following this recipe to bake bread rolls.

He uses 600 g of flour.
How much of the other ingredients does he use?

Recipe: Makes 10 bread rolls
500 g flour
6 g salt
12 g yeast
30 mL oil
360 mL water

Answer 1

500 g flour = 600 g

6*1.2 g salt = 7.2 g

12*1.2 g yeast = 14.4 g

30 mL oil = 36 mL

360 mL water = 432 mL

Explanation:

10 bread rolls requires 500g of flour.

Eli uses 600g of flour which is 1.2 times the amount needed for 10 bread rolls.

This means that 1.2 * 10 bread rolls are made which is 12 bread rolls.

Multiply the remaining ingredients by 1.2:

500 g flour = 600 g

6*1.2 g salt = 7.2 g

12*1.2 g yeast = 14.4 g

30 mL oil = 36 mL

360 mL water = 432 mL
