A pastry mix is made from 2 parts butter mixes with 3 parts flour how much ingredients is needed to make 1 kilogram of pastry mix

Answer 1

To make the pastry mix with the ratio of 2 parts butter to 3 parts flour, the total parts in the mixture is:

\[ 2 \text{ (butter)} + 3 \text{ (flour)} = 5 \text{ parts} \]

Now, if we want to make 1 kilogram (1000 grams) of the pastry mix, we can divide this total weight into the respective parts:

1. Calculate the weight of each part:

\[ \text{Weight of each part} = \frac{1000 \text{ grams}}{5 \text{ parts}} = 200 \text{ grams per part} \]

2. Now, calculate the weights of butter and flour:

• Butter (2 parts): \[ 200 \text{ grams/part} \times 2 \text{ parts} = 400 \text{ grams} \]

• Flour (3 parts): \[ 200 \text{ grams/part} \times 3 \text{ parts} = 600 \text{ grams} \]

Thus, to make 1 kilogram of pastry mix, you need:

• 400 grams of butter
• 600 grams of flour
