Question

33.6g of sugar is needed to make 4 cakes. How much sugar is needed for 6 cakes?

Answer 1

4 to 6 is 1.5x so 1.5 x 33.6 is 50.4 grams of sugar

Answer 2

So for 4 cakes, you would need 33.6 grams of sugar.

We then use division: 33.6g ÷ 4 = 8.4g of sugar

We then multiply: 8.4g x 6 = 50.4 grams of sugar.

So the person will need 50.4 grams of sugar to make 6 cakes.
