james is making fruit juice, using fruit cordial and water.
the label on the cordial says "to make 1 litre of fruit juice, use 200 ml of cordial and 800 ml of water"
james uses 250 ml cordial and 850 ml of water.
is james using the correct proportions?
show working to justify answer.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Let x equal the amount of water needed.

200/800 = 250/x

200x = 200,000

x = 1,000 ml

I don't know what this means:

"here is a list of ingredients you need to make 20 peanuts. "

Answered by danielle
the 100g butter
50g sugar
150g flour
50g peanuts
Answered by Anonymous
since she bought 200g peanuts, that's 4 times as much as she needs for one batch of 20 cookies.

So, multiply all the other amounts by 4 to use up all the nuts and make 80 cookies.
