To find the required quantity of flour, we need to use the ratio of flour to sugar given as 40.3.
This means that for every 40.3 units of flour, there is 1 unit of sugar.
Therefore, to find the quantity of flour needed for 18kg of sugar, we need to set up a proportion:
40.3 units of flour / 1 unit of sugar = x units of flour / 18kg of sugar
Cross-multiplying, we get:
40.3 units of flour x 18kg of sugar = 1 unit of sugar x
Simplifying, we get:
40.3 x 18kg of flour =
And solving for x, we get:
x =
x =
Therefore, the required quantity of flour for 18kg of sugar is approximately 727.83kg.
In preparing a recipe for cake, the ratio of flour to sugar is 40.3. Find the required quantity of flour with 18kg of sugar.
