Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Eight flapjacks
2oz of butter
3oz of sugar
4 oz of rolled oats.
Each flapjack
Butter = 2/8 = 1/4 oz
Sugar = 3/8 oz
Rolled oats = 4/8 = 1/2 oz
How many flapjacks can I make if I have
14 oz of butter,
15 oz of sugar, and
16 oz of rolled oats?
Butter
= 14 oz ÷ 1/8 oz
= 14 × 8/1
= 112 flapjack
Sugar
= 15 oz ÷ 3/8 oz
= 15 × 8/3
= 120/3
= 40 flapjacks
Rolled oats
16 oz ÷ 1/2 oz
= 16 × 2/1
= 32 flapjack
Therefore,
Considering the quantity of rolled oats available, the number of flapjacks that could be made is 32
