How much sugar is needed in kg?

Recipe: Makes 14 biscuits
110 g margarine
100 g sugar
275 ml syrup
200 g oats
50 g sultanas

Answer 1

0.4 kg

Explanation:

A proportion can be used to find the amount of sugar.

x/(1.1 L) = (0.1 kg)/(0.275 L)

x = (1.1)(0.1)/0.275 kg = 0.4 kg

Angela needs 0.4 kg of sugar for her biscuits.
