Answer 1

Explanation:

Victoria used : 170 g of butter for 250 g of flour.

So, 1 g of flour requires = 170/250 g of butter = 0.68 g of butter.

Victoria's daughter used: 340 g butter for 400 g flour

So, 1 g of flour requires = 340/400 g of butter = 0.85 g of butter

Thus, the cookies are not good made by the daughter as the butter is not in appropriate proportion.
