Question

A cupcake recipe designed to produce 28 cupcakes calls for 360 grams of flour Determine the quantity of flour that would be
required to make 32 cupcakes. (Round the final answer to four decimal place.)
The quantity of flour required is
grams

Answer 1

Answer:24888.8g

Explanation: 28cupcakes calls 360g

32 cupcakes calls ???

28x32=896 cupcakes

896/360= 2.4888888g

In four decimal place = 24888.8grams

Answer 2

Since the 360 grams of flour are used to produce 28 cupcakes , thus the quantity (mass) of flour is said to be distributed equally on all 28 cupcakes thus, every cupcake requires 360/28 grams of flour which is equal to 12.8571 grams.

By the same logic the 32 cupcakes would have a different amount of flour distributed equally amongst all 32 cupcakes thus the quantity required is equal to 32 times required to prepare 1 cupcake , we conclude that the mass needed is equal to 32 x 12.8571 = 411.4272 grams of flour.
